The Influence of Neoclassicism on Ho Chi Minh Architecture in the Twentieth-First Century

Abstract

The influence of Neoclassicism in Vietnam in general and Ho Chi Minh, in particular, is attributed to the influence of local culture and perception. This trend creates buildings that diverge from the standards of Neoclassical architecture in both positive and negative senses. This paper aims to demonstrate the influence of Neoclassicism in Ho Chi Minh Architecture, its progress in the modern era, and its potential adoption in Ho Chi Minh City through the evaluations of specific city construction projects in the twentieth-first century.
