If the 2023 Festival in Y\u00ean B\u00e1i was a source of inspiration, then the upcoming 2025 Festival in Hu\u1ebf, to be held from September 26 &#8211; 28, 2025, promises to be a new milestone &#8211; affirming the pioneering role and social responsibility of the young architect community as the nation moves toward a bright future and sustainable development.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Y\u00ean B\u00e1i 2023 \u2013 Where Connections Are Made and Responsibility Awakened<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-69358\" src=\"https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"247\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Held amidst the majestic natural scenery of the Northwest mountains, the 2023 Young Architects Festival in Y\u00ean B\u00e1i gathered nearly 1,000 young architects nationwide under the theme \u201cConverging the Colors of the Northwest\u201d. The event was not only a platform for professional exchange but also a spiritual boost affirming the unity among generations of Vietnamese architects, especially the young ones &#8211; the generation steadily proving its capability and confidence in the profession. In Y\u00ean B\u00e1i, many pressing architectural issues were brought to the table: the rapid growth of urban areas, the need for innovation in rural architecture, challenges from climate change, and the question of preserving identity amid globalization. It was an occasion when many young architects became more clearly aware of the idea of \u201cArchitecture in Harmony with Nature\u201d and the relationship between heritage conservation and sustainable development. The festival went beyond exhibitions of works &#8211; it created opportunities for experience and dialogue, helping participants realize that architecture does not only exist on drawings but must also be embedded in life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discussions and debates at the Festival helped young architects recognize that architecture is not limited to building design &#8211; it is closely tied to social, environmental, and cultural responsibilities. From Y\u00ean B\u00e1i, the young generation of architects gained new motivation to practice their profession with a renewed mindset &#8211; more open, united, responsible, and creative.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-69350 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-2.jpg' class=\"media-img media-img\"><img width=\"380\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-1.jpg' class=\"media-img media-img\"><img width=\"380\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-3.jpg' class=\"media-img media-img\"><img width=\"380\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-4.jpg' class=\"media-img media-img\"><img width=\"380\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-4-380x247.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-6.jpg' class=\"media-img media-img\"><img width=\"380\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-6.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-5.jpg' class=\"media-img media-img\"><img width=\"380\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-5.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Images of Some Activities at the 2023 Young Architects Festival in Y\u00ean B\u00e1i<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><b>2025 \u2013 Young Architecture with New Missions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From 2023 to the present, Vietnam\u2019s architectural landscape has undergone many changes. Urban areas are expanding rapidly, housing and public facility demands are rising, while climate change and environmental degradation increasingly affect human life. In this context, many generations of young architects have demonstrated their dynamism: boldly adopting and applying new technologies, embracing green architectural trends, and striving to find balanced solutions between development and preservation. The trend of \u201carchitecture for humanity &#8211; humanistic architecture\u201d has become a major concern. Small-scale competitions and workshops within regional clubs have enriched the collective experience in preparation for the Hu\u1ebf 2025 Young Architects Festival. Many projects led by young architects have made an impression, showing maturity in both professional thinking and community responsibility. Notably, the consistent operation of the Vietnam Young Architects Club over the past two years has helped maintain the flame of connection, creating a network that binds the Young Architects Community &#8211; a place where ideas are shared, concerns are heard, and professional aspirations are nurtured.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-69350 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-8.jpg' class=\"media-img media-img\"><img width=\"380\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-8-380x247.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-9.jpg' class=\"media-img media-img\"><img width=\"380\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-9-380x247.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-10.jpg' class=\"media-img media-img\"><img width=\"380\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-10-380x247.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-11.jpg' class=\"media-img media-img\"><img width=\"380\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/tckt.vn\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25A10027-11-380x247.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Images of Some Professional Roundtable Discussions \u2013 Where Ideas Are Shared and Concerns Are Heard<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><b>Hu\u1ebf 2025 &#8211; The Convergence of Tradition and Creativity<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hu\u1ebf &#8211; a heritage city that embodies the essence of royal culture, Buddhism, music, and art &#8211; provides a unique setting for this Festival.

Source: Internet.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hu\u1ebf 2025 Festival is expected to become a meeting point of tradition and innovation, of identity and global trends. Its seminars, exhibitions, and networking activities will not only facilitate the exchange of experience but also open new directions for Vietnam\u2019s young architects in their journey to shape the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Faith in the Young Generation of Architects<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking back from Y\u00ean B\u00e1i to Hu\u1ebf, one can clearly see the maturity of Vietnam\u2019s young architect community. Today\u2019s generation does not merely seek career opportunities &#8211; they are taking active roles in addressing major social issues: from urban planning and green architecture to cultural preservation and sustainable development. What unites this generation is their continuous desire to learn, their willingness to take action, and their aspiration to contribute. Each young architect, whether in major cities or rural areas, carries within themselves the responsibility to create better living spaces for the community. Now, as Hu\u1ebf 2025 approaches, the greatest aspiration of the young generation is to affirm the role of the architect not only on paper but also in social life. After all, architecture is not meant for display &#8211; it is for people to live, breathe, enjoy, and preserve. If the previous generations laid the foundation, then today\u2019s young architects must courageously take new steps &#8211; preserving their roots while opening the doors to the world. On that journey, the Hu\u1ebf 2025 Festival serves as a catalyst and a support point for the young generation to grow together.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reflecting on Hu\u1ebf 2025, one can still hear the inspiring words shared at the 2023 Young Architects Festival in Y\u00ean B\u00e1i: \u201cA young architect is one who carries within themselves the memories of the nation and the dreams of the future\u201d. From the marks of Y\u00ean B\u00e1i 2023 to the expectations of Hu\u1ebf 2025, it can be affirmed that the National Young Architects Festival is not merely a professional event &#8211; it has become a symbol of unity, responsibility, and creativity for Vietnam\u2019s young architects. Hu\u1ebf 2025 promises to be a destination where the young architect community continues to affirm its talent, contribute its voice and intellect to the development of national architecture. But beyond a single event, it represents a long journey that the young generation will continue &#8211; creating, preserving, and most importantly, ensuring that architecture always remains connected to people, to the community, and to the future of the country. That journey will not end in Hu\u1ebf &#8211; it will continue to resonate and expand through many future Festivals, as a living testament to the growth of Vietnam\u2019s young architects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>M.Arch.
