Description

Hanoi, capital of Vietnam, has been influenced by Chinese culture, French colonization, war with the US, socialism from the USSR, and more recently, connection to the global capitalist market. The city today exposes a great dynamic mixture of different foreign ideologies with the indigenous culture in its urban morphology: traditional villages, a traditional Southeast Asian trade quarter, a colonial quarter, a socialist 1960s fringe, and the more recently developing new commercial project developments. Although Hanoi experienced a great amount of
shifts in ideologies, the city’s morphology, in this sense, exposes some similarities with other post-colonial and post-socialist cities. What is distinct for Hanoi is that the different ideologies are not as clear-cut and isolated in separate segments of the city as can be seen elsewhere. Instead, the different components, elements, and styles, in their original state or as a replica, mix and merge in all the segments of the city. Traditional villages, colonial villas, socialist housing, self-build popular housing, and new commercial housing exist side by side and in extreme cases, merge with one another. Similarly, social practices in Hanoi expose mixtures of rural and urban ways of living, and mixtures of socialist, traditional, and newly ‘global/foreign’ lifestyles entering Vietnam. In housing morphology, these dynamics are exposed in socialist apartments that are transforming into private self build popular houses, of which parts are replaced with new commercial high rises. In addition, the most recent new commercial housing areas mix with existing villages and agriculture and newly built popular housing.
