ARB Architects founder Nguyen Ha won the award for a series of unique projects, including the Dao Mau Museum. The museum is dedicated to the mother goddess Dao Mau, a cult established in the country as early as the 16th century and declared a UNESCO-listed religion in 2016.
Mr. Ha, who was born in 1980, received a full scholarship to study for a master’s degree at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ).
In 2010, she co-founded ARB Architects in Vietnam with Swiss-trained architects Kurt Aellen and Laurent Cantalou. She also gained valuable international work experience through various projects in Morocco, France and Switzerland.
Ha is also known as a light installation artist in exhibitions such as “Xem Dem – Cang Dem” with artist Tran Duc Phuong at Manzi Gallery and the Goethe-Institut.
Other architects in the top four include France’s Kim Courrèges, Lebanon’s Joana Dabaj and Brazil’s Noelia Monteiro.
The Moira Gemmill Emerging Architecture Award shortlist recognizes the bright futures of designers under 45 who are leading their own practices. This year’s shortlist includes architects from France, Lebanon, Vietnam and Brazil who seek original and tactical ways to navigate the environments in which they work and create spaces for local communities.
