Often referred to as the "Oscar" of the world of architecture, the WAF (World Architecture Festival) is a prestigious annual international event in the field of architecture that honors outstanding architectural works, where talented architects from all countries come together to celebrate architectural achievements around the world.
This year, surpassing thousands of other design teams, The Veil - White Palace Pham Van Dong has been shortlisted among more than 400 projects in various categories, standing alongside 20 outstanding projects by leading architects and design teams worldwide in the Display: Completed Buildings category. The project was designed by architect Nghiem Dinh Toan (me+ Architect).
Inspired by a bride's veil on her wedding day, The Veil, viewed from the outside, features a delicate, translucent veil that embraces the walkways and shapes the structure, revealing an ethereal space inside. This design contributes to the building's imagery, adds depth to the interior space, and creates a sense of mystery and privacy from the outside.
This concept also helps to maximize the open space in front of the main part of the building. This increases interaction among people in the event and conference space.
The project was completed in 11 months. Beyond its aesthetic and commercial value, The Veil - White Palace Pham Van Dong also created a sensation as the most popular spot for celebrities to check in and take photos in Ho Chi Minh City.
