Abstract

Hanoi is the oldest capital city in Southeast Asia. During its long urban evolution, indigenous cultural elements gradually formed up that are best found in its Old Quarter. With regard to architecture, “tube house” should be the most significant dwelling form here. Under strong urbanization and modernization processes within the last decade, many tube houses has been being torn down for new constructions or at least seriously downgraded and much modified. Thus, it has become a pressing task to conserve those precious tube houses, especially oldest and most originally remained ones, then to restore or renovate them as historic monuments for future generations' as well as foreign references. This paper generally discusses on the more pressing task to conserve invaluable tube-houses, then focuses on describing existing situations and finally publishes the latest complete documentation (as of Sept. 2006) of the chosen study case: the 47 Hang Bac house.
