As the 10th National Young Architects Festival – Huế 2025 draws near, our Young Landscape Architects Delegation is once again filled with excitement, ready for an emotional and inspiring journey ahead. With six core members, familiar faces from the Vietnam Association of Landscape Architects, including Chairman Phạm Anh Tuấn and Vice Chairman Nguyễn Thái Thuật Hiền – a son of Huế and also the Head of the Young Landscape Architects Club, our team may be small in number, but we are ablaze with enthusiasm. Though many of us are now in our middle years, our hearts remain young, ever ready to contribute with passion and creativity!
We are not just participants; we are organizers and connectors for the young landscape architecture community, from hosting talk shows, networking events, and publishing books to organizing the “Outstanding Landscape Graduation Project Award 2025”, which has drawn over 30 entries and is currently in full swing. This Festival is another opportunity to spread that same spirit, while bringing the fresh and vibrant energy of young landscape architects to friends and colleagues from across the country.
Our team began building the Festival atmosphere early on: we designed our own internal invitation cards, inspired by Huế’s signature purple color and the iconic heritage structures of the ancient capital – a statement of our excitement and heartfelt connection to this year’s Festival theme. Our team uniforms have been carefully prepared as well: green shirts symbolizing the field of landscape architecture, harmonizing with the “Green Journey” message. Dark green sports shirts, white hats emblazoned with the logo, and bright green flags – everything is ready to make us stand out amid the festive atmosphere.
At the 2023 Festival in Yên Bái, our Young Landscape Architects Delegation made its debut with the goal of connecting and exchanging ideas, leaving behind unforgettable memories. This year, we come to Huế with an even stronger determination – to spread our passion and “play our hearts out”. Beyond the uniforms, banners, and slogans, we are also preparing songs and performances to bring more color and joy to the grand celebration of Vietnam’s young architects.

Our highlight at Huế will be the message we wish to convey: Landscape architecture is inseparable from nature, and the Green Journey of the Festival is also our journey – a journey of connection, sharing, and inspiring the next generation of young Vietnamese architects.
The Young Landscape Architects Delegation wishes the 10th National Young Architects Festival – Huế 2025 great success, filled with unforgettable memories, continuing to spread the flame of youthful passion for architecture across the country!
