via Nhan Dan, 22 March 2022: New book on the architecture of Hue.
The Hue Monuments Conservation Centre in coordination with the Relics Preservation Institute under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism held a ceremony on March 21 to introduce a book entitled ‘Hue architectural heritages through strokes’.
According to the Hue Monuments Conservation Centre, Hue architectural heritage features a unique collection of typical architectural buildings and structures, including ramparts, palaces, temples, mausoleums, pagodas, and houses, which represent typical features of the architectural types and styles of Vietnamese feudal dynasties.
Since the early 80s of last century, the Institute of Monuments Preservation has carried out projects to restore relic sites in Hue. However, there has not yet historical documents on the detailed construction drawings and plans of the relics. Therefore, the projects’ members must meticulously measure and develop the drawings completely manually, without any technical support.
