‘Flying vegetation’ is a works in a series of those toward the Agritecture perspective: combining green facade Architecture with Agriculture in order to create a living space for the future in the context of global climate change. The prevalent urbanization process across Vietnam has been causing an imbalance in rural areas. The area of agricultural land is decreasing, seriously affecting the sedentary farming and resettlement of the community.

Flying vegetation is a house located in a new urban area in Thai Binh city. In front of the construction site is a common garden of the neighbourhood, which generates the idea of creating a vegetation screen – a private buffer for the living space, thus reducing noise and dust while still open enough for the house owners to enjoy the green space.
The green facade seems to fly in the air. It blurs the boundary between architecture and landscape. This creates the feeling of living in the forest or next to the rice fields.
The house is for residential purpose (1st-2nd-3rd floors) and for rent (4th-5th floors), which is operated in a spirit of sharing (non-profit) the living space between its owners and tenants. The 3rd floor and the roof are multifunction meeting spaces for members living on each floor.
House owners show interest in plants, have green fingers, and understand that trees and soil—used for planting trees and for making tiles and ceramic jars from raw materials—are two primitive materials familiar to all cultures. Trees and Soil connect and gather people from many continents in a common house.
A system of hanging plant pots in endless, seemingly flying columns shapes the front and back of the house. A frame system creates these columns and allows them to be opened and closed at the positions where plant pots are placed, enabling maintenance and replacement when needed. The design arranges the pots in an alternating, spaced manner so the plants can grow healthily.
The house has helped its owners find joy in their daily activities because they have a chance to grow plants, take care of them and share products from their vegetable pots and gardens with their neighbours.
Home-based farming also allows city residents to live closer to nature and to the countryside, thereby evoking a feeling of attachment to their homeland. For this reason, this model is likely to be multiplied and become “Fields inside the city”, providing green living spaces and vegetables for people’s daily needs.
