My name is Van Hieu Nguyen, a Vietnamese-based licensed architect. I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Architecture for Sustainability at Politecnico di Torino. My espertises focus on enhancing sustainable building performance, with an emphasis on building technology, façade design, environmental performance analysis, and performance-based design approaches across diverse climate contexts, including hot-humid tropical and temporate regions.
Feel free to contact me for collaboration!
