Tony Fruit office is located in District 4, HCMC, where the construction rate is high with most of the buildings being built as commercial centers and office buildings. The site is located on a junction with a glimpse of the park and the public square. However, the two main facades of the building receive direct sunlight from dusk until dawn, causing overheating problems for the interior. The idea of ​​​​”empty green block” creates an intermediate layer to shade the sun, but still exploits the open vision for the interior space. At the same time, create an outdoor garden space by cutting blocks. On the other hand, setting back the rudimentary construction creates spaces for outdoor greenery that help create a natural skin covering the facades exposed to daylight. With the green system surrounding the building, every space in the office overlooks the fresh green space, and each floor is connected with the outdoor garden, the gardens on the floors see each other, helping everyone enjoy than. The system of square louvers effectively shade the sun from diagonally into the building, while the large glazing system receives scattered light to help the building save electricity costs for lighting and cooling. Meanwhile, the setback glass receives more reflected light, which is beneficial for cooling and lighting costs in building maintenance. The green block is a possible solution in improving the working space conditions for urban buildings in cities with the same tropical environment as HCMC.

The streams are murmuring, the two sides are filled with flowers and grass, although artificial, it also creates a cool climate that brings a sense of relaxation to people. . Water material Water materials here are not materials and supplies of the industry… water supply – drainage; are not pipes, elbows, knobs, valves, faucets… or water-related equipment.
Water, which can be considered as a building material, joins other materials in architecture. However, water is a special material, not used to make structures or architectural details; which contributes to creating functional and aesthetic values ​​in the overall architecture. In buildings used for human use, it is necessary to have water. Water is a special form of matter that sustains human life and activities. Besides, water materials contribute significantly to the creation of landscape and environment for architecture. Water was present very early in ancient architectural works, traditional folk architecture, in both rural and urban areas. Water surface is an important factor in the overall plan. The ancients exploited natural elements to form water surfaces associated with works such as lakes, ponds, rivers and streams. Then, there are artificial water surfaces, designed, with functional and aesthetic intentions such as artificial lakes, moats, tanks, wells… Water is also an important factor in feng shui in construction. ancient architecture. Water surface in the architectural complex at Faculty of French – University of Foreign Languages ​​- Hanoi National University . In traditional folk architectural works, the water surface and green trees are considered as negative factors to balance yin – yang. And most of the water surface is static, if there is movement, it is a natural flow (river, stream), the supply, drainage – drainage also depends on natural factors. Green as water In green and ecological buildings, water is an important factor to increase the “green” and friendliness of the building. Water improves the microclimate, makes the environment more pure; reduce the heat, bring a pleasant feeling to people living and working in that environment. Besides the classic water surface designs, water plays a more important role thanks to modern technologies and equipment. Water materials can be present in many locations, architectural parts with many states. Water can exist in static form such as lake surface, ornamental tank… and can be in dynamic form such as overflow waterfall, fountain, fountain, artificial flow… Artificial stream in a garden . The large water surface cools and airy the space, creating a mirror effect. Next to it is a humidifying fountain to help cool the space (National Convention Center, Hanoi). Making architecture green with water is a traditional solution but still has a lot of efficiency and plenty of room for the designer’s creativity. The work associated with the water surface always has an airy space, a fresh climate environment, creating many positive aesthetic effects. Water surface and green trees make the architecture close to nature, friendly and open; Helps calm the mind and body. Water can be present in every building, from urban to small structures, regardless of scale. A park can have water, a townhouse can have water. It is important that the designer knows how to place the water surface and control the existence of the water surface appropriately.

The “Vineyard Wind” project consists of 84 giant turbines that will be built about 19 km from the Vineyard and Nantucket islands off the coast of Massachusetts. Vineyard Wind will have 800 Megawatts of generating capacity, outperforming Block Island Wind’s 30 MW and output from two test turbines installed in Virginia. According to the US Department of the Interior, this project, after going into operation in 2023, will generate enough energy to supply 400,000 homes and businesses. “Vineyard Wind” is a joint project between the energy company Avangrid Renewables and the Copenhagen Infrastructure Construction Company. It is expected that, when operating at full capacity, the Vineyard Wind farm has a total investment of 2 billion USD, can generate 800 MW of electricity / day. The Joe Biden government has a target by 2030 to generate 30 gigawatts of wind power.

From the legend of the sacred stream According to folk tales, in the early days of heaven and earth, fairies often went down to the top of Co To to play, joke … when they were bored to destroy knives, the fairies together threw stones from the mountain, When tired, a small range of hills also appeared in the shadow of the night, at the bottom of the hill suddenly a clear stream of water flowed … Anger Dup – sacred hill with legends of fairies in her. Over hundreds of millions of years later, people came to reclaim the land. The drought, the heat here makes people discouraged because of the lack of drinking water. In falling asleep, the sound of the stream gurgling like echoes in my ear and awoke with a start. Happy about this, people living in the burning area, breaking rocks together, opening the stream for the underground stream to flow out. And people named this hill with a flowing stream named Tuk Chup, which in Khmer means water flowing in the night, then read the camp as Tuc Dup. In the 60s of the last century, Tuc Dup hill became a solid revolutionary base where the army of An Giang Provincial Party Committee, Tri Ton District Party Committee and other armed forces were stationed. When the US brought troops to fight on Tuc Dup, they blocked all the supply of food and water to our soldiers. Thanks to mastering the terrain, the soldiers quickly find the underground water in the cave to eat and drink. Knowing that this was the living water source of our army, the enemy used bombs, bullets, and artillery to try to raid, in order to cut off the way of life. Films of our soldiers fighting to protect the groundwater. But it is here, also one of the most terrible “hell” areas that they have tasted failure. As a result, our troops won the battle of 128 days and nights, defending the base and bringing the name of Tuc Dup to fame throughout the continents. To the truth was knocked on the door In 1996, Tuc Dup was assigned by An Giang Provincial People’s Committee to An Giang Tourism Joint Stock Company (then a SOE) to exploit services. However, after more than 2 decades, the sacred water is still peacefully deep under the thick layer of soil, no one can find it, it seems to be just an anecdote. During a survey trip, leader Tuc Dup had the opportunity to meet the former revolutionary soldier, Mr. Nguyen Huu Khanh (himself Ut Vu) – Former Secretary of the An Giang Provincial Party Committee. Visiting the old battlefield, he excitedly recounted the glorious 128 day and night battle of our army and the difficult stories about the process of clearing the That Son vein. To find out the answer “whether the sacred water is real”, leader Tuc Dup and geologists embarked on a survey and research. Perhaps the sacredness of the forebears, has led the way for the interested investors, in just 3 days, they found a cave with a stream of cool water rising up from the mountain. %. This is a precious treasure that Mother Nature created for the hill 2 million dollars. According to Ut Vu, there are inexplicable phenomena. No matter how much fire, bullets and toxic chemicals sprayed, but the stream of water is always clear and never empty. Thanks to that, the revolutionary soldiers were kept alive, resiliently sticking to the battle area until the day the country raised the triumphal song. Kieu bridge across the cave contains underground water. Mr. Hoang Van Thien – Director of Tuc Dup Tourist Area said, “After days traveling on the hillsides, we have discovered this mysterious cave. The deeper we go in, the more recently discovered this place hides an extremely attractive beauty, with memorabilia left by the war, many fossil animal skeletons, crept by the stone slab is a cool stream. murmuring and hundreds of fish swimming and living. The scenery shimmering at the foot of Tuc Dup hill. In addition, the cave also contains a system of shimmering, colorful stalactites such as transparent white quartz; Emerald green, iron yellow: Sparkling silver like the gemstone of silicats. In which there are stalactites up to 30m high, large stones like giant eggs. For visitors to have the opportunity to admire the majestic beauty of this place, at the same time to better understand the magic of the resilient land. In the near future, the unit will expand to exploit tourism in this cave ”.

In addition, this company will serve other financial institutions such as state-owned banks to compete in lending with fintech companies. According to a source close to the Financial Times, Ant Group wants to lead the new company. But PBoC said that this will create a conflict of interest. China wants to take control of Ant Group’s huge data warehouse. (Photo: FT) “The first priority is to ensure that the new business fully complies with the regulations. State participation will help the PBoC achieve those goals,” a source revealed. In January, the PBoC announced regulations requiring Chinese companies to secure government approval before being allowed to provide personal credit services. These companies have to ensure that they have 3 licenses and all are subject to government control. PBoC officials held a conversation with Ant Group executives on April 12. This month, Chinese regulators also asked Ant Group to restructure and sanction Xi. Alibaba Group Jack Ma’s record fine of 2.8 billion USD.

Come on. In addition, the fintech company charges banks for loans on their apps. “Ant Group’s credit database offers a lot of value to banks,” said a former PBoC official. A person knowledgeable about this issue commented: “Ant Group needs to find a way to legalize this data warehouse. The proposed solution is to set up a credit reporting company approved by PBoC”. But there are also opinions that state control could affect the ability to collect and analyze information for Ant Group’s core business units, including consumer lending. “Ant Group really wants to hold on to its most valuable assets,” said a source. The central bank of China will release a report this Sunday on the creation of a state-controlled data company. However, neither Ant Group nor the PBoC have yet to comment on this.
