Nguyên Hà (ARB Architects, Hanoi, Vietnam) - “SERENITY-UNCONCIOUSNESS- CRAFTSMANSHIP-ARCHITECTURE”

Nguyen Hà, co-founder of ARB Architects, emphasizes finding “serenity” in architecture. Her projects reflect the progression of culture, history, and religions in different regions and ethnicities in Vietnam. She pays special attention to the formation, disappearance, and transitional processes of Vietnamese traditional craft villages. Hà worked with artisans from such villages to preserve traditional production methods and to create new materials. She is also known as a designer of lighting installations. 

In 2024, Nguyen Hà won the Architectural Review and the Architect’s Journal’s Moira Gemmill Award for Emerging Architecture.
