Phu HOANG
Grants
To examine architectural and cultural links between urban tube houses and rural communal houses in Vietnam. Hoang’s fellowship investigates relationships between these two foundational building types that link domestic and civic life and embody centuries of cultural adaptation, social hierarchy, and climatic response. Through site visits, archival research, and interviews with architects, researchers, homeowners, and community members, Hoang will explore how spatial practices express climate adaptation and shape social and familial life. Hoang’s research aims to deepen cross-cultural dialogue around climate-responsive design and trace how these enduring forms continue to shape architectural thought.
