The Running Bean Ben Thanh
Located at one of District 1’s most active intersections, The Running Bean Ben Thanh sits beside Ben Thanh Market, a landmark completed in 1914 that has shaped the rhythm of its surroundings for over a century. The 450m² café and restaurant is embedded within this condition, defined by constant movement and the pace of urban life.

Fish Trap House V
The Fish Trap is an ancient vessel. In the past, it served as a tool for catching fish. Then, as it was no longer used, it became a symbol that bears lost culture in museums and literature. In this piece, we tried to take this vessel and reproduce it with different dimensions and appearances.
