[𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥] 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲: 𝐀 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 ♻️

Designing for the future means finding harmony between 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, and 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, and that’s exactly what our Hospitality & Workspaces panel discussion will uncover.

Joining us are two leading voices shaping Vietnam’s design and sustainability landscape:

🔹 𝐃𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐒𝐧𝐲𝐝𝐞𝐫 – 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫, Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC)
With over 25 years of experience in sustainable development across the US and Southeast Asia, Douglas has contributed to major projects spanning hospitality, education, health, and commercial sectors. His work with the World Bank, UNDP, DFAT, and Vietnam’s ministries reflects a lifelong commitment to advancing green building practices and resilient design. As Executive Director of the Vietnam Green Building Council, he continues to lead initiatives that drive environmental responsibility in Vietnam’s built environment.

🔹 𝐇𝐨𝐚𝐧𝐡 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧 - 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫, HTAP Architects
A Vietnamese-American architect, researcher, and educator, Hoanh studied at Columbia University, SCI-Arc Los Angeles, and RMIT Melbourne, bringing a global perspective to local design. Through HTAP Architects, which he co-founded in 2004, Hoanh has delivered projects ranging from boutique spaces to large-scale resorts. His design philosophy explores how architecture interacts with the evolving layers of urban life, reflecting his belief that cities are living, breathing ecosystems shaped by design.

Together, Douglas and Hoanh will explore how architecture, design, and sustainability can redefine hospitality and workspace environments, creating spaces that are not only functional and beautiful but also responsible and restorative.

Tropical Space and Christian J. Lange are both experts in brick architecture but with completely different design and fabrication methods. That was a great meeting with motivating discussions.
