Learning from Ad hoc Architecture – Hanoi Urban Ecologies

From now to 2050, Vietnam’s urban population will increase at the rate of 1 million people per year. As the conventional top-down urban planning strategy has proved its impotence in dealing with urban growth, combined with increasing evidence that informal housing clusters provide better energy consumption per capita, communication and urban amenities for low-income households, bottom-up, self-organizing housing strategies need to be considered. If the spontaneously built structures are synchronized with city planning and in tandem with the requirement systems of nature, then the future of cleaner, smarter energy use in cities could be secured.
