The headquarters building of the Hi-Tech Park (HTP) in Vietnam

The Hi-Tech Park (HTP) headquarters building serves as the administrative hub of an IT-focused industrial park north of Da Nang, Vietnam.

The building’s form is inspired by dynamic engineering images of intersecting gears, as well as the idea of ​​cloud-based IT – the building’s plan intersects functions in a circle, creating common spaces and voids for natural ventilation.

Due to the building’s dynamic form, energy modeling software was used to develop a parametric system of solar shading façade panels. The inclination of each panel is optimized to reduce solar heat absorption and glare, while still providing natural light and visibility to the work areas for staff. The shimmering ripples on the façade are achieved through flexible control of the panel profiles. This idea is implemented in the interior using natural wood panels.

The main purpose of the building is administrative space. It also houses a large auditorium, a server room, and a staff canteen with outdoor terraces. The main spaces are visually connected through an open central atrium.

Passive ecology is used throughout the building, with natural light and airflow integrated through a large central atrium as well as smaller stairwells. Planting at the base of the atriums provides a sense of nature for occupants, as well as additional cooling.

This object has such a fate that involuntarily allocates it among others in Kazakhstan. The bridge across the Ural River in the administrative center of the West Kazakhstan region began to be built in the “good old days”, that is, under the Soviet regime. Since the republic never had their own organizations specialized in this case, bridge builders from different Russian cities worked here here. Then there was a notorious “parade of sovereignty”, followed by an economic crisis. Although the construction of the bridge continued, however, the payment of the executed volumes was now constantly delayed, or even at all moved away for an indefinite period. For this reason, the bridge builders stopped working several times. However, the object in Uralsk is one of the most significant in Kazakhstan, and therefore did not forget about it: the press periodically woke up this topic. Increased attention is also explained by the fact that the bridge across the Urals does not just connect the two banks of the river, it makes up an important link on the shortest path from Central Asia to the European part of Russia. As a result, the story of the invitation of bridge builders from a neighboring state was repeated again and again, without a visible result. There is a rather funny moment in it. A couple of years ago, when the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev arrived in Uralsk, the local authorities invited him to take part in the solemn open… bridge over the Urals. The head of state made sensory words and cut the red ribbon. But when the ceremony ended and the president left, the entrance to the bridge was closed. The fact is that every driver who would decide to update the shortest path from Central Asia to Russia could well have been on the other side, but at the bottom of the river. The object was not over. And the main difficulty was not so much in building a car transition through the Urals itself, but in the construction of multi -kilometer approaches to it through a constantly flooded floodplain. And work here still start and finish. And now in the republic they decided to return to the long -suffering object again. The Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of Kazakhstan announced the competition for state procurement of works and services for the reconstruction of the bridge over the Ural River. The required delivery time within 2000. Potential suppliers who meet the qualification requirements stipulated in Article 10 of the Law of Kazakhstan “On public procurement” are allowed to the competition.
