Project Title Vu’ng Nu’oc Hotel
Student’s Description “Located 3.5 miles off the coast of Halong City in Vietnam, the destination is without existing infrastructure, so the hotel is designed to generate its own water and power by excavating the site to act as a dam. Timeshare owners are treated to luxury houseboats that allow guests to explore the bay. When the boats are docked at the hotel, they are plugged into the hotel’s energy and water systems and are fueled by the dam.”
Judge’s Comments “The Vu’ng Nu’oc Hotel is both creative and realistic for 2055 due to its focus on sustainability. As resort destinations around the world become more and more congested, remote islands like this one will become sites for future development. Self contained and sustainable infrastructure — including power generation, communications, desalination, effluent treatment and even food production — will become increasingly important.”
