Con Hen, once a thriving green oasis between Hue’s ancient citadel and modern city, which plays an important feng shui role for ancient Hue, has faced ecological decline due to urban development. This has led to a drastic reduction in its rich biodiversity and traditional professions, such as mussel-raking. The proliferation of unplanned structures has disrupted the natural balance, making the area more susceptible to environmental disasters. Our group aims to restore greenery, implement nature-harmonious architecture, and revive the human-environment symbiosis.
In the coming fifty years, it is anticipated that the region will see a decrease in concrete buildings and an increase in green spaces, allowing for some ecological recovery. This revival could support the return of traditional cultures and professions, fostering a better connection with nature. Moreover, adaptive architecture will address flooding and rising sea levels that enhance local living conditions. Additionally, heritage and cultural sites will be preserved and restored, becoming waterfront attractions.
What does the future hold for Con Hen? Can we imagine a future where ecology and culture flourish together? With strategic efforts, we can create a vibrant reality where ecology and culture flourish together.
