Businesses contribute to reviving the appearance and quality of urban life
Training programs focused on building urban spaces in the modern context, directing the production of green materials for sustainable living spaces, designing and developing public spaces, and expanding cultural and creative spaces… Vietnamese businesses are gradually contributing to the revitalization of urban appearances and quality of life through diverse and meaningful activities.
RAISING AWARENESS
The training programs aim to provide knowledge about “urban rejuvenation” and create opportunities for young architects to access and raise awareness about designs that improve the quality of living spaces, and create friendly and sustainable environments. Green architecture and sustainable architecture, which help “rejuvenate” urban spaces, have become key topics in programs and courses for architecture students.
The in-depth seminars, taught by reputable experts and architects, cover topics on architecture and design, such as: Architecture and Design – Approaches to Sustainability in the LIXIL Talent Match 2023 Program, contributing to raising students’ awareness of sustainable urban space development.

Mr. Uchidate Katsuaki, CEO of LIXIL Vietnam and representative of the LIXIL Talent Match organizing committee, shared: “Addressing environmental challenges, developing sustainable urbanization, and building smart cities are current development trends. The younger generation of architects, especially students, plays an increasingly important role as they are directly involved in shaping and developing future cities. Through specialized training programs, we hope that young architects will enhance their awareness and experience of urban rejuvenation, contributing ideas and efforts to positively transform urban spaces for a future of high-quality living environments for everyone.”
