Rebel architecture

A Vietnamese architect has designed an excellent house project for countryside residents .  It could withstand harsh weather conditions.  In 2012, Mr.Vo Trong Nghia was a winner of 11 international architecture awards in various categories. Thanks to this particular weather resistant house prototype, he gained international recognition.

The prototype is created from precast concrete frames that cost no more than 4,000 US Dollars.
