Inspiration: This beautiful heritage site is in danger of the urbanization, it would become an ugly mess and the seminary would be surrounded by a mediocre suburb, if no planning had been done. Inspired by The Cradle of Vietnamese script, by Lang Song printing house, the motor of this development is local and foreign tourism thanks to the beauty of the site, the bay, the lagoon, the mountains, thanks to the variety of heritage, thanks to the attention, passion of Binh Dinh people for culture and science...
Project Duration: Project started in 2018 in Binh Dinh, got the approval for 1 to 2000 Zoning Master plan in Jun 2018 and for 1 to 500 Detail Master plan in July 2020.
