The world’s most expensive car park is located in a super luxury development in Hong Kong overlooking the city’s harbour. It is the luxury project Mount Nicholson in the affluent ‘The Peak’ area of ​​Hong Kong. The building’s parking lot was once dubbed ‘Asia’s most expensive address’ overlooking Victoria Harbour. A car parking space costs 1.3 million USD (about 30 billion VND). William Lau, sales manager for Centaline Real Estate at The Peak, says the price for parking is negligible compared to the price of the apartment. He said: “This is definitely the most expensive car parking spot in Hong Kong. But what homeowners care most is parking space, not money. They buy houses for personal use, not for personal use. must invest”. The world’s most expensive car parking space is located in an inch of land In 2017, this development was named the most expensive address after information about a wealthy person spending $ 149 million (about VND 3,433 billion) to buy 2 houses here.

In 2019, the record for the most expensive parking space belonged to a location in the bay with a selling price of $979,000 (about VND 22.5 billion). It’s a parking space in the basement of one of Hong Kong’s 73-story skyscrapers, called ‘The Centre’. According to the Global Cost of Living Survey (WCOL) 2020 by the Economist Intelligence Unit research group of the prestigious economic magazine The Economist, Hong Kong along with the capital Paris, France and Zurich, Switzerland, are the cities most expensive in the world. Reportedly, the most expensive car park in the UK costs $ 496,000, more than a third of the price of a record parking space in Hong Kong. Hoang Dung (translation summary)

The idea of ​​penthouses, especially in skyscraper design, dates back to the 1920s. Because as buildings grew taller, wealthy residents wanted more access to light and views. Since then, projects on luxurious and lavish penthouse architecture have been continuously born. First to mention the terrace penthouse of JDS architect: The idea behind this project was to create a ‘missing garden’ at the top of the existing housing complex that incorporates three penthouses. That way, all residents have access to a real outdoor garden. Next is the apartment PANO Penthouse located on the 53rd floor of a luxury residential tower in Bangkok and is the 4th tallest apartment in Thailand. The penthouse design team is based on the concept of “living between the city and nature”, offering a modern lifestyle, balanced relaxation with panoramic views of the poetic Chao Phraya River. Broadway Penthouse: Rethinking the concept of an urban garden, this project introduces a dynamic plane, consisting of a planting carpet with wooden floors, vertically linking the loft with the terrace for panoramic views of the center. downtown Manhattan (New York, USA). Bondi Penthouse (Australia): This building is famous for its light metal structure on the roof artfully. 520 West 28th (USA): This is an 11-storey project of 39 residences with 11-foot ceilings, custom interiors incorporating Zaha Hadid Design’s Boffi kitchen and integrated technologies including parking and self-storage motion. Penthouse in Magdalena – Taller David Dana: The apartment emerges inside a building located in Colonia del Valle in Mexico City. 432 Park Avenue – Rafael Viñoly Architects: The new mixed-use and residential tower by Rafael Viñoly Architects rises at the intersection of Park Avenue and East 57th Street.

As a matter of fate, the small town boy, who feels most comfortable living among the nameless trees in the tropical forests along the Truong Son mountain range, has won a literary translation with his book. Restlessness , eventually became inseparable from the main work of his life, which was theoretical and applied research in the field of urban structure. With his own efforts, he was awarded a prestigious award The Donald Robertson Memorial Prize 2000 of the world’s leading journal of urban studies, Urban Studies, together with Professor Patrick Wakely (UCL), for their work on Position-Quality theory (SQTO). Architect Hoang Huu Phe In Vietnam, he participated in planning and designing many projects, among them the Central Circus in Hanoi, the Can Tho University, the headquarters of the Institute of Petroleum, the new urban areas Trung Hoa – Nhan Main, North An Khanh (Splendora), Cai Gia – Cat Ba tourist urban area, and many other works, especially high-rise buildings in Hanoi and other cities in the country. The stories that were discussed hotly in Hanoi for a while, such as the idea of ​​​​walking street, building an apartment building in Trung Hoa Nhan Chinh urban area, expanding Hanoi … are all related to him – an architect with many experience of the big outside world and a desire to do more for cities in Vietnam through contributions to urban structure theory. Hoang Huu Phe was born in 1954, is an architect and planner. He studied respectively at the Faculty of Architecture, Kiev National University of Civil Engineering, the Department of Residential Planning at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) and the Department of Development Planning, University of London (UCL). He received his PhD in Urban Planning in 1998 in London and has published internationally in the fields of architecture, residential placement, urban structure, real estate, urban renewal and policy.

Where do skyscrapers come from? Historically, high-rise buildings have been the place to preserve the value of a great religion or empire. For example, the Giza pyramid complex – built to house the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu – used to be more than 145 meters high. It was the tallest man-made structure for nearly 4,000 years, before being surpassed by the 160-meter-tall Lincoln Cathedral in the 14th century. Other ancient structures such as the Potala Palace of Tibet or the monasteries of Athos were all built on top of the mountain, with man’s ambition to touch closer to heaven. However, according to CNN, the definition of “high-rise building”, the forerunner of skyscrapers, was only really born in the 20th century. Famous architect Richard Rogers once said that the 20th century was unified. Ruled by innovation and science, with powerful impacts in every sector, including construction. According to Carol Willis, director of New York’s Skyscraper Museum, in the late 1800s, industrialization pushed urban populations and land prices up, prompting large-capacity buildings to be built in Limited space becomes the optimal solution to save costs. Meanwhile, the American technological revolution from 1880 to 1890 saw an explosion of new inventions, helping architects to build taller, stronger buildings. The birth of the Bessemer steelmaking method allowed the design of the frame to be taller and more flexible than the cast iron of the previous era. The newly invented water system has helped buildings to break the strict 23 meter height limit that was in place to control fire risk. In particular, the patent for AC power has allowed electric elevators to operate at a height of up to 10 floors. Thanks to that, in the 1880s, the first generation of skyscrapers officially appeared in Chicago and New York. Thanks to that, America, the land of dreams, is believed to be the birthplace of modern skyscrapers. Architects Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler first coined the term “high-rise office building” in 1896. Accordingly, based on Renaissance architecture, the buildings were built up to 10 floors. with the first two floors being the main hall and stalls, some services located in the basement, the upper floors “stacked”, ending with a roof or attic placed on top, with a piping system. vertical conductor linking the building to the power source, heat. Later, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) maintained a set of criteria for defining tall buildings, defining it as a multi-storey structure designed for residential and commercial use. or manufacturing operations. Built after the great fire of 1871, the 12-story Home Insurance building in Chicago – completed in 1884 by William Le Baron Jenney – is now considered the first high-rise of the industrial era. In the next 100 years since the inauguration of the Home Insurance building, the United States has always been the “gathering” of the world’s tallest buildings. In New York alone, the world’s tallest building record was broken six times between 1908 and 1931 – with the height of the structures having doubled, from the Singer Building to the Building Empire State. Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world today, a symbol of the pinnacle of modern skyscraper architecture. Photo: CNN. Why do skyscrapers exist? After just over a century, domination of the “skyscraper” market has gradually shifted from the US to the Eastern Hemisphere. Malaysia was the first country to break the US record for the tallest buildings in the world when the Petronas Twin Towers were completed in 1998. The Taipei 101 building of Taiwan, China is the next building to hold this record, starting in 2004. Currently, the 163-storey Burj Khalifa, which rises more than 800 meters above the Dubai sky, has become the New symbol of the world’s skyscrapers arena. CNN points out that, more than the purpose of building offices or houses, more than demonstrating the economic and technological levers that profoundly affect construction architecture, skyscrapers like Petronas or Burj Khalifa are also is a symbol for “I” – a measure of brand value. In a report presented at the 2007 CIB World Tall Buildings Conference, expert Eldemery Ibrahim said that the development of tall buildings is also a symbol of power, status, and prestige. As analyst Sorkin in his Architectural Record once wrote, “the historic race to the sky reveals the contrast of tradition and modernity, influencing ‘structure’, even culture, and politics. of a land”. Not only that, the official website of the Burj Khalifa Building, confidently asserts: “Not only is the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa is also an unprecedented example of international cooperation, a symbol of prosperity. progressive and a symbol of a new, dynamic and prosperous Middle East. More than that, it is tangible evidence of Dubai’s growing role in a changing world.” Also, today, it is a fact that not all the space inside the skyscrapers is used. The term “vanity height” was coined by CTBUH in 2013 to describe just that, describing the height difference between the top of a skyscraper and the highest usable floor. According to CTBUH, about 29% of the area of ​​the Burj Khalifa Building has a frivolous height. Nine other high-rise buildings in the US, China and the UAE also had a height unavailable ratio of 28% to 36%. According to CTBUH, 61% of the world’s skyscrapers would lose their super-tall building status without this frivolous height. This makes the media, including many big names like BBC, Daily Telegraph and some architectural experts doubt the necessity of building skyscrapers, when it does not necessarily meet the purpose. Initially, the high-rise buildings aimed at serving people’s needs. However, a remark made by architect Louis Sullivan in 1896 somewhat overturned these doubts: “What is the principal characteristic of a high-rise office building? It was lofty arrogance. That should be the height. Power and strength must be there, aura and arrogance must be there. It has to be a proud subject and soars to every inch, straight from bottom to top as a single unit without a single line of deviance.” The number of skyscrapers will decrease in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Photo: CNN. New definition of “skyscrapers” in life “new normal”? In 2014, the world entered a period of boom in the number of skyscrapers, with nearly 100 buildings over 200 meters tall being built. According to research site The Towel Info, in recent years, developed countries have emerged as centers of new generation high-rise buildings, especially in urban areas of Japan or China, where An inch of land is more precious than gold. According to CTBUH, 191 “ultra-tall” skyscrapers – a term that describes buildings at least 300 meters tall – have been completed. Although skyscrapers started out as an American phenomenon, the Middle East and Asia – especially China – currently dominate the skyscraper construction market. CTBUH data shows that China accounts for more than half of all new skyscrapers built in 2020 that are 200 meters or more in height, while Dubai has more new skyscrapers by far than any other city. other. However, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be slowing down the racing track of skyscrapers, because the higher the number of floors, the higher the construction cost. According to CNN, all buildings reach a limit where adding an extra floor will cost more to build than it will make in profit. William Clark and John Kingston – two economists and architects – once asserted in 1930 that the maximum profit height for a skyscraper in New York in 1920 was no more than 63 stories. Thus, buildings that exceed the ceiling height (from time to time) will show that investors are overestimating the profits that can be obtained from the construction of new buildings. So far, that’s still true. For the same reason, in 2020, the number of new skyscrapers built globally will decrease by more than 20%. CTBUH attributed this drop to COVID-19, when projects around the world were “paused” because of the persistently imposed blockade and distance orders. “As tall buildings often depress economic indicators, any impact that economic conditions or market disruptions might have on projects that are just starting, or under construction in 2020, will be visible,” said CTBUH. “It must be remembered that the economic crisis of 2008 was not hastily reflected, but the decline in building construction was only recorded until 2010 and 2011,” the CTBUH report said, warning. about the risk of delay, even stopping the progress of a series of skyscrapers due to the decrease in investment capital because of the pandemic. However, CNN still believes that the records of skyscrapers will continue to be broken, because their value lies not only in return on investment, but also in prestige and brand. “The role of skyscrapers is divided into two halves,” explains Hong Kong-based architect Simon Chan, because “every city wants to have a landmark that offers a distinct cultural feel, rather than a settlement. mere material needs”.

Screenshots According to the CNA , the 356m high SEG Plaza building began to shake at 13:50 ‘, causing people inside to panic and flee, while passersby gasped in surprise. Local media reported that the building was cordoned off at 2:40 p.m. SEG Plaza, completed in 2000, is home to various commercial centers and offices in the heart of Shenzhen – one of China’s fastest growing cities. Local officials are investigating what caused the building to shake, although no earthquakes have been recorded. Source: CGTN SEG Plaza is the 18th tallest tower in Shenzhen. Chinese authorities last year extended a ban on the construction of skyscrapers taller than 500m, after the order was enforced in some cities such as Beijing. Five of the world’s tallest skyscrapers are located in China, including the world’s second tallest, the Shanghai Tower, at 632m. Building collapses still happen occasionally in China, where lax construction standards and rapid urbanization have led to hasty construction. Last May, a five-story hotel in the southeastern city of Quanzhou collapsed due to poor construction, killing 29 people.

Illustration. The Lakhta II Center Building will have a height of 703m, while the Burj Khalifa – the world’s tallest building currently in Dubai is 828m high. However, the planned skyscraper will have the tallest used floor and gallery in the world at 590m. The current second tallest building is the Shanghai Tower at 632m and followed by the Shard in London at 310m. The Lakhta II Center will be located on the outskirts of St.Petersburg next to the old Lakhta Center – the tallest building in Europe with a height of 462m, and also the headquarters of the energy company Gazprom. The project’s design team leader is Tony Kettle – who designed the Lakhta Center. Lakhta II Center will have office space, accommodation and relaxation space on 150 floors. “The design is both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional as it will significantly reduce wind forces acting on the structure, thereby reducing the size of the structural elements required in the building,” says Kettle. .” The old Lakhta Center was St.Petersburg’s first “super-tall” (greater than or equal to 300m) building. The 87-story tower rotates 90 degrees from foundation to top, like a winding needle. This makes it one of the finest examples of “twisted” skyscraper design.

The images of a fruit garden on the rooftop of a building in Ho Chi Minh City have caused a “storm” on social networks when attracting more than 100,000 interactions. After just one day, the series of photos received more than 16,000 comments and nearly 5,000 shares. The owner of the garden is Bang Nguyen, he is a bachelor of accounting from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. Bang Nguyen said, he has been growing trees on the terrace for about 4 years now, since buying a house in Tan Phu district – Ho Chi Minh City. “Due to the impact of the epidemic on work, I have more time at home. But because of that, I have more time to plant and take care of trees. Especially the cantaloupe. As you can see, most of the area of ​​the rooftop garden is for melons. It is also the most difficult variety to grow among terrace plants,” said Bang Nguyen. Bang Nguyen said that every day he spends about 2 hours on the rooftop garden. “Because there are only husband and wife and small children at home, I do a little bit every day, mixing some soil. Initially, I planted orchids mainly, about 200 pots of orchids. After that, I spent about 25m2 of the total 70m2 behind planting cantaloupe. 25m2 in the middle to grow orchids, apples, guavas, tomatoes, vegetables … 20m2 in front for outdoor wooden floors, around planted roses, a little melon, 2 grapes “- Bang Nguyen said. Bang Nguyen also revealed that many gardeners were unsuccessful, possibly due to improper mixing of media and ways to prevent pests. The soil for planting must be clean soil, mixed with rice husks, and composted manure. Each type of plant I mix with a different ratio, but must ensure porosity, watering is drained, not stagnant on the face. When growing vegetables, mix the soil once, fertilizing once is enough, but when growing melons, when the trees are fruiting, they must be fertilized many times with composted fish protein and bat manure. Prevent worms, thrips, red spiders using neem oil. To prevent fungal diseases for plants, use self-incubated organic microorganisms “- Bang Nguyen revealed. According to Bang Nguyen, he invested a lot of money in the garden. This whole season of cantaloupe, he costs about 5-7 million money for seeds and fertilizers. “Currently, this crop I plant 80 roots, collect 80 fruits, yield about 200kg. This is the 4th melon crop. In the first season, I planted 30 plants but almost failed because I didn’t know how to prevent powdery mildew, rhizomatosis, etc. Later on, I had to learn and learn in all the melon associations. garden net, go to the instructions to read carefully, find and get to know the brothers and sisters who have planted before to be successful” – Bang Nguyen said. The image of bunches of grapes laden with fruit makes many people excited. Let’s see the pictures in the 70m2 garden on the rooftop of the high-rise building.

Located in a densely populated area in Singapore, the house has a public walkway right next to it. Behind is a high-rise building under construction. Therefore, privacy issues become a major concern of homeowners. Accordingly, the architect prioritizes discreet walls on the outside of the facade.

Overwhelmed with new magnificent Paris when viewed from above The French capital Paris shows magnificent beauty with the ancient Notre-Dame Cathedral, the romantic Seine River and the tall skyscrapers in the photos taken from above. Jeffrey Milstein first took top-down photographs with his Cessna 150 in 1961 when he was only 17 years old. At that time, after he obtained his pilot’s license, in order to have a lot of time to fly, Jeffrey Milstein agreed to clean and sweep the hangars in Southern California, USA. But Jeffrey Milstein’s life has gone through many professions. He chose to become an architect, then started his own design company, before starting his career in photography today. The Louvre is like the pyramid in the heart of Paris The picture of Paris with the Arc de Triomphe as the center To get the pictures of Paris from above, Jeffrey Milstein is also quite laborious, using helicopters in the city is very limited and rarely granted. The helicopter company he flew in supported the three-month application process and art friends supported Jeffrey Milstein. The man living in Woodstock, New York, USA said: “Two flights of about 45 minutes around the city, I had to work very quickly, but because I was a good pilot, everything was done.” The end result is a book of 200 enchanting color photographs showcasing the ‘city of light’ in a very rare variety of angles. Jeffrey Milstein is best known for his top-down shots, saying: “I really like this formal, symmetrical look with its strong focus and careful cropping. art, like a drawing of the premises that an architect can see. ” Georges-Pompidou National Center of Arts and Culture The stately gardens of King Louis XIV and the elaborate palace in Versailles Luxembourg is an important garden of Paris, France Milstein has photographed other cities in a straight-down style. His book published in 2017 shows images of Los Angeles and New York, USA. In addition, the veteran photographer also takes photo frames in London, UK and Amsterdam, Netherlands. What particularly attracts Jeffrey Milstein above all are the buildings with a fairly uniform height and aesthetics. This is largely due to Georges-Eugène Haussmann’s 19th-century urban plan when he decided to level most of the city’s medieval structure, opening wide boulevards and a limestone building. “Paris has a wonderful identity, with beautiful boulevards and light everywhere, no tall buildings blocking the light,” said Jeffrey Milstein. This man captured most of the famous landmarks in central Paris with the exception of Notre Dame Cathedral, which is still covered after the terrible fire in 2019. To get a picture taken straight from above, helicopter pilot Félix Claro had to fly steep circles, while Jeffrey Milstein had to sit as lean as he could and was always ready to shoot. .

Urban experts and architects say that it is time for authorities and related units to discuss and find future architectural works that when it comes to the world, the world will immediately think of the city. HCM City. There are no works of a caliber for Ho Chi Minh City According to the task of adjusting the general planning of Ho Chi Minh City until 2040, with a vision to 2060 being built, the City Department of Planning and Economic Affairs said: Regarding the orientation, the city will study and propose areas to create highlights. bamboo. This architectural highlight will note the height, the horizon … to create a unique identity for the city in the future. On April 29, talking to PV, architect Khuong Van Muoi, former President of the Association of Architects of Ho Chi Minh City, said that the search for ideas and construction of prominent architectural works are typical a “problem” is difficult, although the city really wants such a project. “Not now, but for a long time, we have held many competitions to design bridges, roads, architectural works … to find such typical highlights, but there are no works of a caliber for Ho Chi Minh City. Actually in the world too, it is not the test that will achieve the desired results ”- Mr. Muoi information. According to Mr. Muoi, typical architectural highlight works must be symbolic for that locality. For example: the Sydney Opera House (the Seashell Theater) in Sydney City – Australia, the Netherlands has a windmill project … which has special significance for that locality, to mention it immediately. instantly. “Currently we are in desperate need of typical architectural highlights, which means that when talking about that project, we know Ho Chi Minh City” – Mr. Muoi said. This is not the first time that the search for architectural accents has been mentioned. In 2019, the Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association (HoREA) also raised the idea of ​​building a bridge over the sea connecting Can Gio District (Ho Chi Minh City) and Vung Tau City (Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province). Sharing about this dream, Mr. Le Hoang Chau, President of HoREA, said the association was the unit that came up with the idea of ​​the first sea-crossing bridge in the 2017 Can Gio Development Planning conference at the Department of Planning- KT City. This is considered an iconic project like the Golden Gate Bridge – Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (USA). The work both addresses traffic needs and creates landscape for the area. The expert proposes to do prominent works of Ho Chi Minh City in Thu Thiem urban area. Photo: HOANG GIANG Time to look for a landmark project Talking to PV, architect Ngo Viet Nam Son said that if we look at the long-term until 2060, Ho Chi Minh City should have a high-tech landmark and use the “language” of the 21st century to show it. “We are having a project to develop Thu Duc City and in which there is the Thu Thiem center in Thu Duc City, the economic and financial center. In my opinion, the landmark project should be located in Thu Thiem and at least the highest in Southeast Asia or Asia ”- Mr. Son suggested. According to architect Ngo Viet Nam Son, referring to his experience when he joined the design and planning group of Shanghai East City, then Shanghai also raised the problem that there should be a prominent project. As for the bridge over the sea, Mr. Son said that it is difficult to be a typical project. As the Golden Gate Bridge (USA), it brings very high economic efficiency, greatly contributing to the development of the San Francisco Bay Area. The bridge over Can Gio sea does not reach such scale and significance. Raising his point of view, Dr. Pham Van Hung, Deputy Director of the Southern Sub-Institute of Transport Science and Technology, said that we must have a study of what is the cultural architecture of Ho Chi Minh City, urban characteristics of the city. How is Ho Chi Minh City. Then there is the idea of ​​building an iconic architecture. “Associations like Culture, Art, Architects… and experts, authorities should sit together to discuss to create a project that is a symbolic highlight for the city. We can discuss from now on so that 20-30 years later there will be such a big project ”- Mr. Hung said. According to Mr. Hung, it is time for Ho Chi Minh City to look for an architectural landmark in the future because we do not have such a convincing landmark project.

Recently, a number of unfortunate incidents have occurred in apartment buildings. There are cases where children, even adults falling from higher floors, died or were seriously injured. There is an opinion that it may be due to design errors, but all apartment buildings and high-rise buildings must comply with construction standards, including full safety standards for each item, so it is unlikely to happen. out errors. In fact, the cause of the above cases is largely due to the unreasonable arrangement of objects and the interior of the house, leading to an accident in use. Talking about this issue, Mr. Tran Manh Dat, General Director of a company operating in the field of interior design, manufacturing and construction, said: “Usually when designing balcony balustrades in apartments height of about 1.4 m. However, active children can climb over here. Therefore, in a home with young children, it is very necessary to install additional screens to ensure safety ”. The apartment building should install a protective net on the balcony and avoid placing objects, beds close to the window. Photo: NGUYEN CHAU When receiving a house, even though there are no children in the house, the homeowner should still make a net on the balcony rail and the window to make the living process safe. The current way of installing the protective cable still completely ensures the space for the house. For townhouses, it is necessary to pay attention to the handrail of the stairs, if using the form of bars, the distance between the bars is not too large for children to pass through. Architect Huynh Bao Toan, Director of a mobile home supplier, also instructed: “When designing a house, the architect did it correctly according to the regulation of a handrail of about 1.4 m or more. However, some families often put extra items on the balcony, close to the railing such as washing machines, trees, furniture … When someone climbs these objects, it is very easy to fall out. Modern apartment design often has large windows, families should not set tables, beds close to the windows because it is very dangerous, especially for young children. The interior layout should be carefully calculated if the house has children ”. KTS Toan recommends apartment balconies need to attach protective nets. This not only ensures the safety of people in the house, but also minimizes the drop of things or mischievous children throwing objects on the ground, endangering others. “The current types of safety nets and cables do not violate the safety of the apartment’s escape when there is an incident such as fire and explosion, so people can use it with peace of mind. The bed should be placed in the middle of the room, not close to the window, the two sides should have space to move ”- said architect Toan. One of the risks when the house has young children is that the power outlet is too low, and children are easy to play with. Therefore, families with low power outlets need to install additional covers for electrical outlets to ensure safety.

The protective net must be easily cut off Regarding the fact that some apartments are fitted with protective nets to ensure the safety of children in the balcony and windows, Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Chung admits that this is a quite convenient and effective tool in existing condominiums. now on. However, he noted that the material of the protective nets should be properly chosen because it is related to ensuring safety against fire and explosion. “As a rule, the balcony area of ​​the building has a very important task to rescue and rescue when there is a fire or incident in the building. The rescue force will use the means to pick up people through the area. balcony, “said Mr. Tung. Therefore, the space above the handrail is very necessary, absolutely not sealed or reinforced with fences, iron cages. If people install protective nets, it is necessary to use materials that are easy to cut off, not too solid. Assoc.Prof. Dr. Tran Chung, former Director of the State Department of Construction Quality Inspection (Ministry of Construction). Photo: ASHUI. Through the incident of the girl escaping despite falling from the 12A floor of the building that just happened, Mr. Tung said that this was an extremely rare event. Through each case, the authorities need to investigate and clarify the cause to widely propagate safety conditions in the apartment. Families living in the apartment building should observe and re-evaluate the safety level in the balcony hallways and their windows to adjust accordingly; Avoid unfortunate cases, especially in large urban areas with dense apartment density. The railing is up to standard but can still be accidental Talking about the height of the railing of the apartment building, Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Chung said that these details must meet the standards for the building to be accepted and put into use. “The regulations of the Ministry of Construction are very clear in this regard, the balustrades of apartments and high-rise buildings are specified that the height must be 1.4 m. The regulation also states that the structure of the handrail must not be there are more structures to climb, “said Dr. Tran Chung. In addition to the already specific technical legal corridor, in urban areas with high density of high-rise buildings, it is necessary to pay attention to checking and controlling safety conditions. Local inspection units, State management agencies in the construction field must strictly conduct pre-acceptance tests before they can be put into use. “The legal corridor and tools for us to manage have been guaranteed. However, similar cases still occur. We have to look at each case to dissect the cause”, Assoc. Race said. According to Dr. Tran Chung, if people install protective nets on the balcony, it is necessary to use materials that are easy to cut off, not too solid. Photo: Duc Anh. According to Mr. Tung, there are several main causes of these unfortunate accidents. In which, the balcony area is often used by people as a place to store, plant flowers and ornamental plants, accidentally turning into steps for children to climb and easily climb over the railing. Along with that, the balcony of the building is absolutely not a play place for children, especially when not supervised by adults. He suggested families with children should regularly close the doors to the balcony area, limit the opening of large-sized windows, limit bed racks, cabinets, window furniture … According to the construction standards of housing and public works in Vietnam issued by the Ministry of Construction in 2008, high-rise buildings or apartment buildings with children under 5 years old living or frequently frequented, balustrades must meet standards. Standard: A handrail gap does not pass a sphere 100 mm in diameter and is not constructed to allow children to easily climb over the railing. For houses, offices, schools, offices and public works, the minimum height is 1.4 m in the lot and terrace at the positions of 9 floors or more. The handrail in the stairs and other locations is from 0.9 m to 1.1 m. Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Manh: ‘I just want a simple life’ Driver Nguyen Ngoc Manh said that after saving the girl who fell from the 12A floor, he was asked by many people. This man just wants a simple life to continue his unfinished plans.

Chinese officials can not stand the “monstrous, deformed” architecture.

This announcement caused widespread online discussion of some of China’s most notorious cities with works described as “monstrous”, “deformed”.

“The construction of super-tall buildings over 500 meters high should be strictly restricted and the construction of ‘ugly’ buildings is strictly forbidden,” the announcement dated April 8 said.

With the rapid rate of urbanization in China, skyscrapers, landmarks and tourist attractions have sprung up across the country over the past three decades. Although the announcement did not give a clear definition of what constitutes an “ugly” building, the “no ugly building” hashtag went viral on the Weibo microblogging platform, attracting more than 170 million visitors. view as of Thursday afternoon.

On Chinese social networks, users have shared photos of the bewildering architecture at home. In the comment section under a post on related media, thousands of Weibo users criticized China’s ugliest buildings, many of whom nominated the Tam Ha Thien Tu Hotel in northern Henan province. North. The 10-storey hotel, famously designed with the image of three giant Chinese gods standing side by side, is said to hold the Guinness World Record as the largest “iconic building”.

One Weibo user wrote: “I realized that aesthetic evaluation is too subjective to have a clear definition of ugly buildings, but these structures are too ridiculous. We don’t even need a benchmark for people to see what’s too ugly. ”

Since 2010, China’s architectural website Archcy.com has held a contest “Top 10 Ugly Ugly Buildings”, with a poll and second round evaluation conducted by experts. The “winning structures” include crab-shaped public venues, teapots and bottles of wine, as well as the Thien Tu Hotel and the Flying Kiss.

“Architecture is an abstract art, but some buildings use this enormous size to simulate animals and people, which is discouraged because of the professionalism and aesthetics,” Dong Di, says associate professor of architecture at Dong Jin University in Shanghai.

The rationale behind such designs, he says, can be complex. Sometimes, developers are looking for what’s most eye-catching; in other cases, they simply have poor taste.

“Architectural designs are usually formed by a very large group,” said Dong. “The final shape can change depending on who drives the project – the designer, the owner of the property, or the government.”

Many cities in China have had their own nicknames for the extreme looks of some quirky buildings. Shanghai’s tallest buildings such as the Shanghai World Financial Center, the Shanghai Tower and the Jin Mao Tower – are collectively known as the “three-course kitchen set” because they resemble an egg beater, one open the bottle cap and a syringe.
