There are differences in the concepts of smart cities, which are reflected in many ideas and solutions. Globally one of the similarities of the goals for achieving smart cities is sustainable developmentwith the provision of best living conditions for people beingthe first priority. Ho Chi Minh City is not out of trend, taking the planning steps for the goal of becoming a smart city. It is necessary that design and construction of high-rise dwelling houses meet the criteria of “smart city” concept. This paper explores the design of high-rise dwelling houses forHo Chi Minh City with regards tothe framework of “smart city” concept. Methods used in the paper includedata collection, analytical – synthetical and modeling method.In order to proposedesign tasks and solutions of high-rise dwelling houses forHo Chi Minh Cityinthe concept “smart city”in the current period and near future, we present new approach, whichcan alsobe applied in practice for different cities in Vietnam.Moveover, it can also establishinformation resources, which areuseful in connecting and promotingfurther development for the success of a “smart city” program.
The becoming of smart cities is an inevitable trend for future cities. Vietnam is in the rapid urbanization process facing many challenges. Smart cities require many criteria, in which providing a convenient living environment for citizens is the top priority. The current situation of urban housing in Vietnam shows a unique characteristic, in which tube houses occupy a large proportion and offer a low quality living environment. This type of construction will play a major role in smart cities. The objective of this paper is to determine the strategies for developing future tube houses within smart cities of Vietnam. Methods used in the paper include: data collection method, analytical – synthetical method and logical method. Results of the paper are shown using appropriate development strategies with necessary criteria and general architectural solutions. In addition, there will be two directions of design solutions: a) renovating of tube houses at existing residential areas and b) new construction of tube houses in new areas. The conclusion drawn from this article concerns designing and building tube houses within the framework of a “smart city” concept. These proposals must conform to practical requirements and should be implemented step by step to ensure sustainable development.
Biophilic architecture is a growing field that seeks to create sustainable and healthy buildings that are in harmony with nature. Biophilic applications are expanding, where people are the center of design. The 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design is popular criteria of Biophilic architecture and widely applied, in which architectural solutions need to ensure the most convenient and comfortable living environment quality in a close relationship with nature. Apartment buildings in large cities of Vietnam such as Ho Chi Minh City are being developed strongly with many questions about the quality of the living environment. The goal of the article is to integrate the 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design into the convenience and comfort of apartments in Ho Chi Minh City. The research methods include: collecting documents, analysis-synthesis and modeling. The results focus on the proposed design solutions according to patterns of the 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design in each comfort level of the convenience and comfort of apartments. The study highlights the potential benefits of integrating biophilic design principles into the built environment in order to improve the overall health and well-being of urban residents. The conclusions will contribute to improving the quality of life in apartment buildings in Vietnam towards being more environmentally sustainable and humane.
