via Nhan Dan, 22 December 2020: An interview with the researcher behind the virtual reconstruction of the One-Pillar Pagoda exhibited in Hanoi.
Historical researcher Tran Trong Duong has challenged popular stereotypes on traditional Vietnamese architecture in a project with his associates, using 3D technology to reconstruct the original One Pillar Pagoda when it was first built under the Ly Dynasty.
In addition to offering a new image of the Ly Dynasty’s classical architecture, the project touches a much greater issue that it is necessary to revisit certain notions on traditional architecture and arts which have become entrenched in the mind of most Vietnamese people.
In this conversation, Dr Tran Trong Duong, from the Institute of Sino-Nom Studies, discusses the issue in detail.
