Modernist architecture in Vietnam has many similarities with mid-20th century world architecture, but there are also differences. Vietnamese architects have created a unique style, most notably the use of bright colors suitable for tropical climates. Bright blues, reds and greens are used to decorate the facades of shops, in stark contrast to the dark, rustic colors in many other countries. The houses and shops in Sa Dec are one of the typical examples.
