A group of Spanish architects arrived in Vietnam Wednesday to observe the country’s economic boom first hand and examine its effect on the design and construction industry.
The main objective of their three-day visit is to introduce Spanish companies from all fields of architecture to the Vietnamese market in order to establish partnerships and carry out joint projects, an official from the Spanish Embassy in Vietnam said.
Representatives from the Spanish architecture firms which specialize in urban planning and the construction of office and apartment buildings and tourism facilities like hotels, resorts, amusement parks and golf courses, visited some developing areas and held meetings with representatives of the Urban Planning Department and the Vietnam Architects’ Association.
The architects will meet local businesses in Ho Chi Minh City today and seek out prospective partners in Vietnam.
A face-to-face meeting will take place between Spain’s Economic and Commercial Office and the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade Services Promotion Department and HCMC’s Investment and Trade Promotion Center.
The official from the embassy said the Spaniards will tour HCMC and examine the master plans for the city in a visit to the Urban Planning Department.
This trip is a follow-up to a seminar entitled “Opportunities in the architectural sector in Vietnam” held in Barcelona and Madrid in November last year.
This seminar, organized by the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade, attracted around 70 Spanish architects.
After the seminar, several experts analyzed the real estate and urban architecture in Vietnam, a sector that is growing steadily and requires a greater number of professionals.
This comprehensive trip to Vietnam has been organized following great interest sparked at the seminars, the official said.
