Project Description
Saigon, with over 300 years of history, is a dynamic city blending tradition and modernity. The “Community Art Center” project integrates old and new structures on the historic Depot Chí Hòa site. As train repair facilities are relocated, the site becomes a potential space for a new community hub. The design strategy focuses on creating various meeting points, including:
Artistic Activity Meeting Points: Movable partitions and open halls replace fixed walls to accommodate diverse artistic activities. The train area is reimagined as a flexible outdoor space, with train carriages serving as dynamic art installations, adaptable to community events, and each area functioning as a stage for art.
