Architect AD9Architects said that the first approach of the architect at this project was a handmade card shop. The remaining functional blocks are organized based on the balance factor. The house faces the West, so the buffer spaces are formed as an essential reason to minimize noise, dust and heat. The gaps found are the transparency where fresh air, trees, and light bring together many of the elements needed for a tube house in the central climate. Da Nang house is located in Vip island area, Hoa Xuan ward, Cam Le district, Da Nang city, completed in 2020. The house has an area of ​​​​500 m², the facade of the building stands out with the color of baked bricks arranged in blocks. The round squares in the front are planted with trees, as a highlight for the house in the middle of the urban area. The materials used are mostly bought locally such as fired bricks, natural split stone, washed stone… The interior is used from the family’s previous house. The architect shared: “The completion of a housing project during the COVID-19 epidemic period is something the office feels very precious, thank you to the construction teams and families for always accompanying us. .” The architect designed many buffer spaces to minimize noise, dust and heat. From the ground floor to the upper floors, all floors are connected to each other, this is to overcome the West facing house. Besides, trees, light and buffer space are essential elements for a tube house in the Central region. Public and private spaces are connected by atrium. The connection between members becomes easier. Fully equipped kitchen and dining room. A corner of planting trees in the front of the house to the west. The materials used in the house are mainly local materials such as fired bricks.

The name of banh gio comes from the key ingredient that makes this cake: ash water. (Illustration) The people who make gio cakes will burn herbs and medicinal herbs to ashes, grind them finely, then filter them to get the yellow-brown juice, soak the rice and boil the cakes. Rice to make banh gio must be delicious glutinous rice to achieve a certain plasticity. After being boiled, the finished product is a clear, moist dough, whose shape depends on the hands of the packer (in different localities). The cake is very pale at first, has a bright amber color, transparent like a block of jade. When cooled, the cake is smooth like jelly, fragrant with sesame. Banh Gio dotted with molasses or granulated sugar, becomes a snack that both young and old love. (Illustration) Summer is the time when banh gio is consumed the most. In addition, this “pure Vietnamese” cake is still loved by people all year round, especially parents and grandparents, because the cake is both fragrant, easy to eat, and easy to buy. City is also cheap. Banh gio is a dish loved by mothers and grandmothers and eaten all year round. (Illustration) However, in the era of modern social development, many people, especially young people, have “forgotten” this childhood gift, or when they eat it, they only eat it when they have a chance. However, for those who have tasted banh gio, it must be difficult to forget the fragrant taste of glutinous rice flour, mixed with sweet molasses. Only the previous generation remembers this cake.

Politicians and businessmen acknowledge the need to transition to a low-carbon society, but slowing global warming and meeting global goals of reducing emissions is increasingly so difficult. According to the director of the International Center for Environmental Law Carroll Muffett, the energy transition is going too slowly from a climate change perspective, but most importantly the acknowledgment of the problem is mainly willpower. political and economic options. World leaders and business sectors repeatedly reiterate their commitment to “transform the energy”. Nearly 200 countries have ratified the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, unanimously pursuing efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This continues to be the main focus of COP26, albeit one Some climate change scientists say that now this goal has been “unattainable”. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) thinks that between 2030 and 2052, the global temperature will get 1.5 degrees C hotter; To reduce global warming, it is necessary to reduce carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 from 2010 levels, before reaching net zero emissions by 2050. The problem is not that there is no technology or the ability to transform, or economic choice, but the structure of power and support for an industry that will decline. The emissions balancing strategies of some Governments and companies still depend on the increasing use of fossil fuels in the “coming decades”. According to Carroll Muffett, this reality can be seen in US policy, particularly in the plan to invest heavily in carbon capture and capture. The road is bumpy ahead . According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Earth’s carbon level is higher than at any time in the past 3.6 million years; If the worst effects of climate change are to be mitigated, it is important to focus on reducing fossil fuel emissions and studying how to prevent greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere. Burning fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal releases large amounts of carbon into the air. Fossil fuel emissions and industry accounted for 89% of global emissions in 2018, the IPCC says. The US Energy Information Administration projects that global carbon emissions from fuel sources will continue to increase over the coming decades. According to energy finance analyst Clark William Derry, the current “energy transition” process is like the “transition of energy systems from the 19th century to the 21st century”; transition is taking place but it is not clear whether it is fast enough to prevent the worst consequences of climate change, fast enough to improve air quality in cities in developing countries such as in India, China, Bangladesh, Vietnam as well as some other countries; The road ahead is very bumpy. Is the current essential issue . The IPCC Intergovernmental Group notes that the transition from fossil fuels is underway and will require “rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented” changes in all aspects of the commune. festival. However, the February 2021 United Nations report showed that countries’ commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions was “far from” compared to the far-reaching measures needed to avoid the dire consequences of Climate Change. Currently only 75/195 countries have signed the Paris Agreement on climate change, submitting the National Contribution Plan (NDC) on emissions reductions to 2030. USA, China and India, are emissions countries. The world’s largest has yet to release its own NDC. United Nations Executive Secretary on Climate Change Patricia Espinosa urged policymakers to “accelerate” ambitious plans to cut emissions by 2021, emphasizing it as “crucial. ” The current./.
