5. Vietnam’s burgeoning architecture industry

Vietnam’s architecture industry is growing apace with the country’s economy, presenting aspiring designers with opportunities to take and challenges to tackle.

Anyone who has spent time in Ho Chi Minh City knows that the city is changing fast. According to Gretchen Wilkins, Associate Professor and Head of Design in the School of Communication and Design, there is an on-going “shift from the existing older sort of vernacular of city fabric and blocks to these new, more international models of design.”
