The stated goal of this project was to design a pavilion for St Josephโs Cathedral, Hanoi, Vietnam; it would serve as an information point and pastoral center and include a reception area, bookshop and giftshop.
However, being in such a symbolic location with the city, the project in fact required the architects to diver their attention to other significant factors; creation of dialogue between old and new, for example, and encapsulating the religious spirit of the building. The characteristics of classical Catholicism needed to be amplified within a purely functional project while avoiding a simple repetition of its symbolism.

The architects developed an approach which involved establishing a system of opposing, dichotomous pairs: high-low, big-small, solid-hollow, main-supplementary, yin-yang, complete-incomplete, fixed-fluid, heavy-light, visible-hidden, materialistic-etherealโฆThese dualities helped to create unique bonds between the new structure and the existing architectural ensemble in the vicinity.
This system is materialized by conventional architectural solutions: it is a shrunken basilica form in mainly glass and steel. Existing vegetation is retained and interwoven in the new structure so as to create a large shade. This minimizes the physical appearance of the architectural structure, promoting the โnegativeโ and in order to give way to, and maximize the existence of, the โpositiveโ structure which is the original St Josephโs Cathedral itself.

The connection between the structure and its surroundings is easy to identify, but its relationship to local vernacular is less clear cut. It utilizes the Asian philosophy of โharmonious yin and yangโ (congruous duality), in which the yin elements of the structure contain a glimpse of the yang, carefully calibrated through the design of the buildingโs outer shell. At the same time, this acts as a solution to resolve the conflicting objectives of minimizing the domination of the building volume, while satisfying service space requirements.
The prototype is simple, ambiguous, and polymorphic, part otherworldly, and partly inspired by traditional northern architecture. This is embodied by, for example, the long building structure and the large canopy, which emphasize linear continuity while promoting the structure in all of its fluid imperfections.
In a project of such historical context and value, it was necessary to go beyond simply meeting the requirements, but also to express an understanding of conservation research towards landscape and heritage, in a building of immeasurable value.
