Architectural Design Guideline for Sustainable Floating Houses and Floating Settlements in Vietnam
Vietnam has a long historical development of floating settlements with a major number of floating villages, where residence and workplace are combined and people have been living in floating homes for centuries. However, these floating villages exist out of dilapidated or simple floating construction. The existence of floating villages has been facing with many drawbacks of environment, socio-culture and economy. Thus, new methods and innovation tools need to be studied regarding to the sustainable concept of floating houses and floating settlements. Based on the traditional experience and vernacular architecture of floating houses in Vietnam, as well as based on the lessons and innovations of floating architecture development in other countries, the goal of this research is to create architectural design guideline for sustainable floating houses and floating settlements that ensure a safe, stable and permanent living on the water for inhabitants in Vietnam. The guideline intends to guide the applicant in the principles of planning and floating building designs according to considerations of social, economic and environmental sustainability.
