My name is Van Hieu Nguyen, a licensed architect from Vietnam with several years of experience managing multiple design phases for mid- to large-scale projects, including hospitality, residential, and public developments.
I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Architecture for Sustainability at Politecnico di Torino. My research and coursework focus on optimizing sustainable building performance, with a specific emphasis on building technology, façade design, environmental analysis, and performance-based design strategies across diverse climates, ranging from hot-humid tropical to temperate regions
Feel free to contact me for collaboration!
