MIA design studio have recently conceptualized a vietnamese food pavilion in hanoi city. defined by an oversized grid canopy, the proportions, dimensions and the number of modular connections used have been reinterpreted from traditional vietnamese folk architecture.
based among the city’s greenery, the pavilion is planned to be an inviting, sociable space
more than 4,000 white, steel connections (illustrating 4,000 years of history in vietnam), illuminated with LED lights make up the structure; giving the pavilion its transparency and interactive nature. as visitors move underneath the lattice canopy, diverse cuisine from three regions of the country are displayed on the timber units which mimic the geographical shape of vietnam and represent the paracel and spratly islands.
