The rapid, hyper-scaled modernization and development of Hanoi requires an earnest respect towards the organic scale and synergy of its people and their culture when dealing with the evolving built environment. GiangVo Commons draws from the beauty and virtues of GiangVo Lake. The project's primary core is GiangVo Way, the fluid metaphorical stream linking the bustling crowds on GiangVo Boulevard to the cherished lake within. Like the flowing tributaries of a river, the natural weaving paths of the Commons assure organic synergy and life for all of its components.
