To commemorate Vietnam Architecture Day on 27 April, which also marks the 78th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Association of Architects (VAA) and President H\u1ed3 Ch\u00ed Minh\u2019s historic Letter to Vietnamese Architects (27 April 1948 – 27 April 2026), the Vietnam Association of Architects has announced a series of celebratory activities nationwide. Among the highlights is an architect-author networking event held in conjunction with the launch of the publication 40 Years of Architectural Review Magazine (1983-2023), scheduled for 10 April 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s celebration takes place amid a particularly significant political and social moment for the country, following the successful 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the election of the 16th National Assembly. It also marks the first year in which local architectural associations have completed organisational restructuring after provincial and municipal mergers and the implementation of the two-tier local government system, paving the way toward the 11th National Congress of the Vietnam Association of Architects for the 2026-2031 term, expected in the third quarter of 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside Party organisations, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, socio-political organisations and other professional associations across the country, the VAA is currently implementing the resolutions of the 14th Party Congress and subsequent resolutions issued by the Party Central Committee, Politburo and Secretariat, particularly Resolution No. 80 on the development of Vietnamese culture. These directives are serving as a foundation for shaping the Association\u2019s programmes and activities in the coming term.<\/span><\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, the VAA emphasises that this year\u2019s Vietnam Architecture Day should be celebrated widely through diverse and practical activities that encourage active participation from architects, members, enterprises and professional partners nationwide. The celebrations aim to foster pride in the Association\u2019s 78-year legacy while reaffirming the enduring significance of President H\u1ed3 Ch\u00ed Minh\u2019s 1948 letter to architects, encouraging meaningful contributions to the development of modern, distinctive, green and sustainable architecture in the new era.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
