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.

“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.
