Full of emotions at the seminar “Contemporary Vietnamese architecture with A79”

On the morning of April 26, 2022, the seminar”Contemporary Vietnamese Architecture with A79″ took place at 33A Ba Trieu, marking many memorable “firsts” of Alphanam Group. The event was held on the occasion of Vietnam Architecture Day 27/4 – honoring passionate and talented architects. Special “firsts” On the side of Alphanam Group, there were the participation of Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Group – Mr. Nguyen Tuan Hai; Chairman of the Board of Directors of A79 JSC Ngo Trung Hai; Mr. Bui Hoang Tuan – Chairman of the Board of Directors of Alphanam E&C JSC, Member of the Board of Directors of A79 JSC; Mr. Giang Nguyen Hong Van – Deputy Director of A79 Joint Stock Company and the company’s members. In particular, the seminar welcomed special guests: Architect Nguyen Tan Van – Former President of Vietnam Association of Architects, Former Deputy Minister of Construction; Arch Shin Takamatsu – Chairman of Shin Takamatsu Architect and Associates with members of the Shin team. The two guests of the event are two respected architects who have contributed to changing the professional thinking of architects and created the “architectural identity” of the two countries of Vietnam and Japan with distinct philosophies and paths – they come together with members of A79 JSC to discuss a common passion, a common love for the architectural profession. The event is an important milestone in the development journey of A79 Joint Stock Company, marking memorable “firsts”: A conference on contemporary architecture was held for the first time. For the first time, there were guests who were famous architects to attend and talk with the members. For the first time, all members of A79 Joint Stock Company gathered together, thinking together about the path that the seniors and great people have walked from hard architecture to soft, contemporary architecture. And also for the first time, the architects of A79 shared their love of the profession with each other, and spread that love to the “pagans” at the event. Settled and proud At the opening of the program, Arch. Nguyen Tan Van affirmed that architecture is a profession recognized by humanity in terms of value: “Our profession is a technical profession full of society, humanity and culture, which later affects the economic development of the country. The stronger the country grows, the more architecture develops. At the same time, he shared the definition of “contemporary architecture”, which is the inheritance from what was built in the past to create and meet the expectations of modern life. For him, architecture is a symbol, architecture pioneers in integration and nothing can prevent that integration. In particular, he proposed to develop the A79 Joint Stock Company into a branch of architects because “Alphanam is a group that loves architecture!” “Give appreciation in every moment” – that is what Prof. Arch. Shin Takamatsu talks about the mission of architects. He sent a message to young architects about the responsibility, that they should create symbols so that when others look at them, they will feel so touched that they have to cry. Through video clips with specific and vivid illustrations, the famous architect from Japan has introduced hundreds of architectural works in his career of more than 50 years. In addition, he gives valuable suggestions on contemporary architecture, in which he mentions the need to learn from the past to use the language of architecture to create buildings with a modern breath. On behalf of A79 Joint Stock Company, Mr. Giang Nguyen Hong Van introduced the projects of Alphanam. He emphasized that A79 is still trying to bring designs from drawings to life and bring value to society and the community every day. “A79 has a differentiation point from any organization and business, is that 100% of products, ideas and dreams come true. With the A79, each passing journey leaves an imprint. Six years ago, A79 was a group of only three or four people, now it has grown to nearly 100 people. With the current workload, in the near future it can be up to 200 people. The journey of A79 will turn a new page”_ Chairman Nguyen Tuan Hai shared. Finally, the Chairman expressed his respect for the profession of architecture and architects: “ Architect is a dedicated profession, creating each work as a story. I understand that in order to make such works, it is necessary to have a natural talent, to put all the mind into it. That’s why I admire architects so much.”   Dr. Architects. Ngo Trung Hai also has enthusiastic sharing: “The work is only considered as a product. But that work is a wonder if it is recognized by people. We are the ones who will quickly turn ideas into reality.” At the seminar, without pressure, only the love of the profession lit up the pride! On the occasion of Vietnam Architecture Day 27/4, may Alphanam’s architects always keep the flame of love for the profession to create more valuable works. I hope that you will always be firm with the determination to “live with dreams, dare to dream and will make dreams come true” as Chairman Nguyen Tuan Hai reminded at the seminar today. The seminar left an indelible impression in the hearts of the attendees

A79 Training Program: Saint-Gobain Vietnam’s Wall and Ceiling Solution Construction Techniques

On the morning of June 9, 2022, the training program “Wall and ceiling solution construction techniques” for A79’s architects and department members took place at the headquarter, 108 Nguyen Trai, Hanoi. The program is organized by A79 and had the participation of Mr. Nguyen Tuan – Technical expert of Saint-Gobain Group Vietnam. Ceiling and drywall are increasingly being used in construction works because of their diversity, flexibility in application and richness in aesthetic shaping. However, the construction of ceilings and drywall to ensure long-term quality and durability requires interior designers to have a very specific understanding of the material properties, climatic conditions at the construction site as well as construction, installation … Saint-Gobain Vietnam is a French corporation operating in the field of designing, manufacturing and distributing building materials based in Vietnam. Currently, Alphanam has been using Vinh Tuong ceiling – drywall system, a trademark of Saint-Gobain Vietnam, for most of its construction works, typically King Palace Building at 108 Nguyen Trai. Therefore, A79 cooperated with Saint-Gobain Vietnam to organize a specialized technical training program for A79’s interior designers and other department members. At the opening remark, Mr. Nguyen Tuan shared about the system of bare bones – walls, drywall system, panel system according to each functional space, and categorized accessories. This general knowledge helps attendees grasp the strengths and weaknesses of different types of systems as well as materials selection and application to suitable projects. The presentation became more interesting and exciting when entering the part 2- principles and construction methods with correct technique to create aesthetics and economic benefit. At this part, the attendees had the opportunity to ask many good and interesting questions, and the expert also explained common errors and construction notes very specifically and in detail.  Listening and participating in lively discussions of A79 employees Some interesting sharings from A79 employees in the post-training “The program is effective and well applied to projects that have been, are and are about to be implemented. What I like best is the solution consulting to part of each project location, to achieve the maximum quality of the product.” – Ms.Thanh Lam, Interior Estimator shared. “After the training session, I gained more practical knowledge from my predecessors, understood a lot about materials and how to properly apply them to spaces and design intentions, learnt more about the solutions to your own drawings offered by the supplier.” – said Ms. Kieu Linh, Mr. Hai Dung and Mr. Van Hoang – member of the Interior Department.
