The entries have presented different viewpoints, in-depth knowledge, and a five-year vision for the architectural design business in Asia from a close, new, but equally profound perspective.
Through the award, a strong network of Asian architectural communities has been formed for architects and experts from 12 countries in the region to exchange and share experiences.
Commenting on the development potential of Vietnam's architecture industry, Dang The My, CEO and founder of Vacons - a partner of the Asia Awards Organization, said: "Many projects from Vietnam have been awarded and highly appreciated. This will be a big step forward and even open a new era for the architecture industry in Vietnam."
Speaking to The Hanoi Times on August 17, a representative of the award organizers emphasized that this is a prestigious event in the field of architecture in Asia to honor and recognize outstanding works of architects and impressive structures throughout the region.

The jury worked extremely hard to find the 50 winners of the prestigious awards.
