A new Saigoneer Podcast episode is out now!
This week, we return to one of our favorite topics: Vietnamese modernist architecture.
Phạm Phú Vinh, an architecture student and researcher on this style, joined us (1:16) to talk about the prevalence of mid-century modernist buildings in southern Vietnam, why this home-grown style is so overlooked by the public, what he thinks about Saigon's current architectural trends, and more.
We also chatted about Vinh's new book, Poetic Significance, Sài Gòn Mid-Century Modernist Architecture, which is available on Amazon, Book Depository, and other e-commerce sites. An extract of the book is available here.
As always, we end with Bánh Mì Banter (41:00).
