This is the first professional architecture exhibition organized by the HCMC Association of Architects and Gia Phúc Media Joint Stock Company under the sponsorship of the Việt Nam Association of Architects (VAA).
Expected participants include architects, master planners, interior designers, real estates and building material traders.
There will be various sideline activities, namely an international seminar on architecture and planning themed “Việt Nam's architecture - Encountering future challenges," design contests, the awarding ceremony of year architectures, and a Gala Dinner for architectures and exhibitors.
It is reported that 80 foreign leading architecture enterprises, occupying 35% of 500 display booths, have registered to join the event, including Aedas (the UK-Hong Kong), Korn (Germany), and Nihon Skkei (Japan).
The VIETARC will also create an opportunity for foreign investors to tap the potential architecture, construction and real estate markets in Việt Nam.
