After 1 month of hard work and dedicated efforts from the talented design team and advisory board members, on the morning of August 1, 2024, the Jury watched the impressive presentation with dedicated and united products of 15 competing teams and 15 mentors, from which the best works were selected to be awarded on the closing night.
Attending the closing ceremony, Architect Nguyen Van Tat, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Architecture – Beautiful Home Magazine, the unit that organized and media sponsored for 3 seasons of the event, sent a message to the young people: “Architecture is an important profession and requires a high sense of responsibility, where the works reflect contemporary society. The job requires the designer to understand culture, history and the development of society and technology. Therefore, I hope that students will always keep their passion and enthusiasm for the profession and at the same time constantly learn.”

Representing the students attending this program, Nguyen Pham Thanh Thuy, a third-year student at Vietnam-Germany University, shared: “I first learned about the Green Summer Design Workshop through my former classmates who were contestants in the previous competition. I believe that all the students here have the same thoughts and goals of challenging themselves to create new ideas and achieve something valuable throughout their journey. And the Green Summer Design Workshop has given us the opportunity to work in a group environment, where all nine of us discussed and came up with new ideas. In addition to specialized knowledge in architecture and landscape, we learned how to work in groups and present architectural works in the most effective and engaging way. Despite our different thinking, we overcame the arguments and came to a common consensus. I would like to thank the Organizing Committee for organizing such a useful event for us.” Wishing you all the best and continuing to inspire future generations of architects.”
Closing the success of the 3rd Green Summer Design Studio, the program promises to continue to bring useful and highly applicable playgrounds for architecture students in the following seasons.
