On November 12, Nhavui XS Studio was honored as the Second Prize in the architectural design competition of the 6-storey classroom building project of Cuu Long University based on Notice No. 31/TB-ĐHCL dated November 12, 2023 of Cuu Long University. This is the third time in 2023 that XS Studio has been named in large-scale architectural competitions.

 

CEO Nhavui XS Studo - Ma.Arch Nguyen Thu Phong was presenting the competition plan to the Jury Council..

 

Mekong River - The idea was inspired by the school’s logo with 9 Mekong rivers intersecting and flowing to the sea. From there, the river branches flow from "Thien" (Heaven) to the base layer, symbolizing the land of the Mekong Delta with the deposited alluvia, with the lines like branches of local cork and mangrove trees on the river. In addition to, the idea was inspired by raindrops flowing to the river for facade details, suitable for the landscape of the Southwestern region. Thanks to this idea, the project is rich in local culture but still has a modern form

The façade structure consists of two shells. The outer layer is staggered aluminum slats for feeling of raindrops. The inner layer is a glass wall system suitable for the needs of classrooms and practice rooms. This facade structure helps to block sunlight, dissipate heat radiation affecting the building, and at the same time create a solid and hollow space to help build a unique architectural language.

The design area is located in Cuu Long University area with a scale of 23.6 hectares, on National Highway 1A, Long Ho district, Vinh Long province.

This winning plan is the result of a joint venture between Nhavui XS Studio and Phuc Nguyen Construction & Architecture Co., Ltd..
