Architectural morphology study towards sustainable design solutions (case study of Ha Noi children's palace design)

This article studies the dialectical relationship between architectural form and sustainable design solutions. The methods used in this paper include systematic and logical analysis methods, diagramming methods, and empirical research methods through the case study of the design of the Hanoi Childrens Palace – a construction that was recently completed in July 2024.

Sustainable design is not only a current trend butalso a goal that designs should aim for in order to minimize styles. This is largely attributable to innovations inenvironmental impacts, save energy as well as to preserve and materials and construction techniques, but morepromote cultural values.
