Applications are now open for the summer course Architectural Association Visiting School (AAVS) Hanoi, taught during 7-20 July, 2025!
AAVS Hanoi is a two-week research programme that explores the concept of experimental preservation within the unique and rapidly evolving built environment of Hanoi, Vietnam. In response to the relentless pace of urban regeneration and localised informal (de)construction practices that continually reshape the city's fabric, the programme seeks to address these dynamic changes by focusing on the digital documentation of overlooked 20th-century architectural artifacts, particularly those at risk of being forgotten or erased. By tapping into Hanoi's distinctive context, the programme also delves into the material culture and urban narratives surrounding these architectural relics.
