Eco-friendly art space in the heart of Hanoi
The unique public art space made of recycled materials, handmade paper, and steel structures at a garden in Hoan Kiem District attracts a large number of locals and visitors.
THE HANOI TIMES — Dien Hong Flower Garden, in the heart of Hoan Kiem District, is home to a unique art space made entirely from recycled materials.
This thought-provoking installation, which will be on display until May 18, gathers discarded and reimagined materials that are transformed from waste into objects of reflection.
This is the core message of the installation delivered by architect Vuong Dao Hoang, curator of the exhibition. He said architects must confront the impact of consumer-driven lifestyles and actively seek sustainable solutions for the living environments of future generations.
The exhibition features a vibrant "recycled garden" with numerous installations, models, and artworks made from recycled materials, handmade paper, modern steel structures, and other repurposed items.

One of the standout features is the dome, which is made of handmade do paper, highlighting the use of eco-friendly materials in the design.
Alongside the art installations, the exhibition also features 30 innovative green homes, interiors, and building designs for the year 2024.
These designs reflect the rich diversity of architectural language and the growing influence of creative and sustainable thinking within the Vietnamese architectural community.
By incorporating indigenous and rustic materials, the space honors cultural values while fostering a deeper connection between people and their environment.
The installation catches the attention of many passers-by.
Many of the projects featured cleverly integrate solutions such as extended porches, open courtyards, and trees on higher floors to help alleviate the sense of urban congestion and reduce the pressures of city living.
Open to the public, the exhibition attracts both locals and international visitors who come to experience the art space and its message of sustainability.
The outdoor art space is open to the public through May 18.
