Samenvatting

As education in Vietnam is still too intensively focused on theory, a learning forum at the outskirts
of Ho Chi Minh city is a necessary development. It is situated inside an infrastructural cloverleaf of freeways and surrounded by a university campus, a High-Tech Park and a Theme park. Theory and practice are interlaced as close as possible in this learning environment that consists of a research center, a museum and a forum. It is meant for researchers, scientists and specific students. The research Center displays products. The forum is a scene of diverse activities, including discussions and debates, meetings, etc. The Museum has a free flow layout where visitors are free to choose their paths of experience. The architectural layout of plateaus creates natural shading with ventilation and absorbs a metro station at its heart.
