RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The building reconstruction plan, co-designed by the house owner and designer who wanted to preserve the original architectural structures, avoided the excessive demolishment and reconstruction that could otherwise increate the outputs of wastes and inputs of materials.
CHALLENGE: The former 14 rooms are preserved, and the roof overhauled with the processes of rustproof and repaint has now heightened, from the 4-meter, to the 8-meter building. T-Dung, the building representing the steel architecture in 1950s when the era of industrial revolution, symbolizes the anticipation of being a homeland for cultivating future artists.
