The stretch along these two roads creates advantages for the school’s architecture in organizing a lively educational architectural ensemble including many clusters of works for different levels based on the psychology of ages from system from preschool to high school. The design was made from discussions with the educational organization to find a solution for the classroom – a basic and important module for the architectural ensemble to optimize teaching and learning. Light is brought into the classroom in long openings on the wall in areas where the sun gives pleasant light, and it is these openings that also create continuous connections with the vast natural area outside. , where unique landmarks within the context’s ensemble can be observed. The outdoor living and learning courtyards are interwoven in a way that complements the respective inner classrooms. A large and round garden is located in the middle of the preschool architectural block, surrounded by classrooms, function rooms and a large lobby area for children to have a comfortable gathering while playing together. when the gardens open horizontally horizontally are the wide yards reserved for primary and secondary level. Connecting between these two large and long courtyards are functional areas for learning along with a large cafeteria; multi-function hall concurrently with sports activities and indoor performances; art, creative and exhibition rooms… are organized to optimize movement and operation so that learning-related activities take place continuously. In order to adapt to the typical hot and sunny climate of Tay Ninh land, the design team applies the possibilities that can be brought from the corridors moving between rooms and between blocks. These corridors both function and form large terraces that provide pleasant buffers for indoor and outdoor activities, as well as cover and shade for outside activities. outside of classes. With flexible lines that soften the architectural backdrop for activities, these large verandas represent a continuous flow of learning energy that is connected across levels in the complex. . The sprawling feature of the terrain also creates a lively dialogue between the living areas around the gardens – through the center of the road – with the daily activities of households on the other. In the gardens, the space between the houses and the other side is the learning activities of children and students in the garden spaces that open and close flexibly between the classrooms.

In recent years, Quang Ninh Museum has become a favorite destination for young people. They boasted to each other about the beautiful and strange “virtual living corners” that could not be exploited. Located right on the shores of Ha Long Bay, a World Natural Heritage Site, Quang Ninh Museum is probably the most beautifully located museum in Vietnam. Inspired by the image of coal – a typical mineral of the mining land, Quang Ninh Museum was designed in striking black by Spanish architect Salvador Perez Arroyo. The shell is like a giant mirror reflecting Ha Long Bay, creating a unique beauty. In 2014, the Quang Ninh Provincial Library-Museum cluster won the “Project of the Year” award by the Vietnam Urban Development Planning Association. Quang Ninh Museum is not only that, this place is truly a miniature Quang Ninh, helping visitors discover the richness of life, cultural and aesthetic imprints, and the richness of resources of the mining land. The collection of 8 national treasures with the Ngoa Van-Yen Tu gold box, the full moon ceramic vase dating back more than 3,000 years… are part of it. According to experts’ assessment, the museum’s display system is quite unique, ensuring the advanced, updating the leading advances in the world’s display methods; The spaces are displayed vividly, the furniture is displayed as well as the scientific arrangement of artifacts, avoiding boredom for visitors. Students of Yen Tho Secondary School (Dong Trieu) visit and experience the Quang Ninh Library-Museum cluster.

Ms. Nguyen Yen Nga (visitor from Hanoi) is not only interested in the artifacts in the museum, stylish photography angles but also in the coffee shop here. Visitor Shannon (Australia) on the famous travel site Tripadvisor commented: “This museum is epic. Three floors with a huge amount of information help you fully visualize all the information about Vietnam you want to learn.” Ms. Trinh Thi Thu Thuy, a person with a disability at the Project on Promoting Accessible Tourism for People with Disabilities in Vietnam, who used to work for a travel company, noticed the stairs designed specifically for people with disabilities. disabilities. Ms. Thuy shared: “We are the ones who directly study accessible tourism in the localities, sometimes quite disappointed because of the fact that we surveyed dozens of destinations in different places but couldn’t find the next one. But Quang Ninh Museum is one of the destinations designed to serve people with disabilities.” Build into an attractive tourism product It is not difficult to understand that Quang Ninh Museum has many interesting exhibits related to coal. Just outside the museum is the glossy black block of a block of coal, symbolizing the land of the mines. The outdoor display area of ​​the museum has the largest monolithic coal in Vietnam, the statue of a mining worker. The exhibition area in the museum is the story of the entire history of Quang Ninh coal mining industry from the Nguyen and French colonial times to the present day. One of the interesting experiences when coming to Quang Ninh Museum is playing the role of “miner in shift”. In this experience, visitors can put on a miner’s outfit, step into the pit built in a 1-to-1 scale with full equipment, enjoy the specialty of mine bread… Em Nguyen Khanh Linh (Quang Ninh) said: “When I first entered this coal tunnel area, I was afraid because it was dark. But I think this is quite an interesting experience, giving me a more accurate view of the difficulties in the work of miners. I think it’s a hard but glorious job.” Experiencing miners in shifts is just one of the experiential activities that always attract a large number of people, children, tourists… of Quang Ninh Museum. The museum has implemented experiential and creative activities in the exhibition space itself with useful and interesting playgrounds for children as well as visitors, such as: “Learning the history of Quang Ninh through artifacts museum”, “Full Moon Festival-Experience with children”, “Baby is a child artist”, “Team building”… Quang Ninh Provincial People’s Committee has recognized Quang Ninh Museum as a tourism product located in the central tourist route of Ha Long City and one of 12 tourist attractions in Ha Long City. Mr. Kieu Dinh Son, Director of Quang Ninh Museum said: “The museum associated with tourism and serving tourism is an important task and method to realize socialization and promote the social effects of tourism. effective museum today. Since its opening, the number of visitors to the museum has increased. Therefore, along with promoting advantages and overcoming difficulties, the unit will strengthen cooperation with travel agencies, build programs in tours, widely promote the image, present objects of the museum to contribute to attracting a large number of domestic and international tourists. In 2019, we received about 400,000 visitors. Total revenue from ticket sales reached more than 10.35 billion VND. Quang Ninh Museum is the only provincial general museum in the country and is one of three museums in the country with 100% autonomy in recurrent expenditure.

Mastering technology, constantly creating… is the “heart command” of Vietnamese oil and gas people. Mission across 60 years Referring to research, development and application of science and technology (Science and Technology) at PVN is a cross-cutting task in the process of formation and development of the Group. Resolution 41-NQ/TW of the Politburo on orientation “Strategy for development of Vietnam’s petroleum industry to 2025, vision to 2035”, as well as Resolution 55-NQ/TW on orientation “Strategy Vietnam’s national energy development to 2030 with a vision to 2045” emphasized: PVN must strengthen the application of scientific and technological advances in the search and increase of oil reserves, production and business. oil and gas, electricity, nitrogen, new energy (shale oil, gas hydrate, hydrogen gas…) to ensure national energy security. General objective PVN’s development strategy especially emphasizes the need to build strong scientific and technological potential with breakthrough solutions. This is considered the driving force and foundation for PVN to accelerate development and develop sustainably. Through 60 years of construction and growth, PVN has constantly improved its research and application potentials of science and technology, actively absorbed advanced techniques and technologies, and promoted creativity and efficiency of existing technologies to achieve level with oil and gas companies in the region and in the world. Hundreds of awards have been awarded for achievements in science and technology of the oil and gas industry, including noble awards such as 5 Ho Chi Minh Prizes & State Prizes in Science and Technology, many VIFOTECH awards… And during the year Currently, continuing to 6 most typical works and projects, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has also been nominated for the Ho Chi Minh Prize & the State Prize in Science and Technology. The Petroleum people who make applied scientific works have worked hard for many years, doing both expertise and research and experimentation. For example, the Cluster of Science and Technology Works “Research and develop technology for design, construction and installation of super-long and super-heavy marine oil and gas projects suitable to Vietnam’s conditions” was deployed and completed after more than 10 years. Research and application of technological solutions in collecting, processing and using associated gas in fields of Vietsovpetro LD Vietsovpetro and neighboring fields has been carried out and deployed continuously for 25 years.. .; the TBM-02 portable synthetic carota metering station system has been researched and manufactured for 21 years; the solutions to apply science and technology to optimize the production process of Dung Quat oil refinery plant are researched and completed. completed in 12 years;… Success of “poor children” The number of benefits and achievements of the above-mentioned scientific works for the Oil and Gas industry as well as for the country, it is easy to ignore the difficult starting factor… But in fact, few people know that starting At the beginning of these scientific works, the Oil and Gas people all embarked on the implementation with the mentality of “the poor children”. The success of PVN’s science and technology cannot be ignored without mentioning the cluster of works “Research and application of technological solutions in the collection, treatment and use of associated gas in fields of Vietsovpetro LD Vietsovpetro and neighboring fields”. . At that time, LD Vietsovpetro could only exploit oil at Bach Ho, but the technology at that time only exploited oil, and the associated gas had to be burned. Meanwhile, the country is seriously lacking electricity for economic development. That fact has prompted Vietsovpetro’s officers and engineers to research and carry out gas collection, transportation, processing and bringing the associated gas to shore for power generation and nitrogen fertilizer production. After oil exploitation, with breakthrough scientific and technological solutions, in the condition of lack of facilities, Vietsovpetro pioneered to bring companion gas from Bach Ho field to shore, creating a leap in the oil and gas industry. Vietnam, creating a foundation for the development of modern gas industry. The story of researching and manufacturing the TBM-02 portable synthetic carota metering station system is also a scientific and technological mark of PVN. In order not to be eliminated from the game of oil and gas services, the staffs of Vietsovpetro Wells Geophysics Enterprise have tried their best to learn and create new things, which are more technologically superior. In those years, Vietsovpetro experts and engineers have picked up equipment of the type “cannot be repaired, cannot be bought” to dissect, research, and then integrate their most preeminent features and manufacturing a general carota metering station costs only $5,000, less than 10% of the equipment price if it has to be imported from abroad. Especially impressed with the word “portable” in the research work made by the equipment of a Russian measuring station in the past, together with the corresponding combined equipment with a mass and weight of up to hundreds of kilograms. Now, Vietsovpetro’s engineers have created a general measuring station that can interpret geophysical data, measure oil-filled fractured rock foundations…weighing less than 10kg, compact as a personal computer multiply. The East Sea Oil and Gas Operating Company (BIENDONG POC) was assigned to research and implement the construction and manufacturing of large works of the East Sea 1 project. In which, the superstructure weighs 12,500 tons and the foot block. The 11,500-ton base of the Hai Thach housing and central technology platform (PQP-HT) are works with a volume exceeding many times that of previous constructions. This is a task that international monitoring and consulting experts consider impossible. However, PTSC Marine Mechanical Services Company (PTSC & MC) – the unit assigned the responsibility, overcame difficulties to complete the project after 2 years. Up to now, with the research, completion and application of the Science and Technology Complex, successful implementation of design, construction, manufacture and installation of super-heavy-heavy drilling rigs, PTSC&MC has become the only international EPCI contractor. of Vietnam to the world market. When Dung Quat Oil Refinery Plant was in operation, the team of engineers and staff of the factory were all apprentices, so they stumbled and problems were inevitable. Therefore, the initial product quality of NM was in a state of “fluttering”. At that time, PVN has determined that to improve the quality of NM operation is a long process. Accordingly, improvement and creativity right in the actual production and operation of the factory has become a regular and continuous action. Although the production and business results of Dung Quat Oil Refinery were not high in the first years, PVN still believes that the young staff and engineers will make efforts to improve the quality of plant operation. Over the past 12 years, more than 30 solutions and initiatives have been completed, increasing the factory capacity beyond design, ensuring product quality to the highest level. Currently, science and technology has been applied in all fields of production and business activities of the Group, especially research focusing on professional and specialized directions. The basic investigation of oil and gas has been actively deployed by PVN and the research results are considered as a reliable scientific basis, having important implications in formulating the development strategy of PVN. helping to make the right decisions and policies in production and business activities. The research, development, proposal and successful application of petroleum science and technology solutions not only bring great economic benefits to the country, but also make important contributions to the science and technology industry. oil and gas of Vietnam and the world. Those are eloquent demonstrations of the creative ability of oil and gas people – who always deserve to be entrusted with the belief to make the impossible possible.
