42,000 bamboo poles Phu Quoc Great World Welcome Center

The Vinpearl project serves as the welcome center for the Grand World Phu Quoc master plan, located in the central area of Phu Quoc United Center. The client commissioned the architect to design a bamboo structure that reflects Vietnamese culture and serves as a landmark for the entire master plan, attracting visitors to Grand World Phu Quoc. The building covers 1,460 square meters, a substantial scale. The architect successfully met the client's needs, creating a unique bamboo structure that both reflects Vietnamese culture and has become a symbol of Grand World Phu Quoc. Two traditional Vietnamese symbols, the lotus and the bronze drum, are carved into dense bamboo grids, expressing traditional Vietnamese culture. The project is ecologically energy-efficient, using natural, low-cost sustainable materials in design and construction, with bamboo poles connected only by rope and bamboo pins. No artificial air conditioning is used, and artificial lighting is minimized, used only at night. The project is first and foremost a pure bamboo structure, using a substantial 42,000 bamboo poles. The bamboo construction process is also unique, with skilled craftsmen working on site. The project by Vo Trong Nghia Architects demonstrates how bamboo can be used to create large-scale, culturally expressive buildings that are both sustainable and visually striking.
