Completed in 2018 in Dương Nội, Vietnam. Images by Thai Thach, Viet Dung An. In present-day Hanoi, Vietnam, people tend to create small landmarks in their homes, including the placement of fish ponds, which may be small...
You gotta love this project!!!!!
VAC system of Vietnam :: They ensure they tap solar power, they also utilise aquaponics which raise fish and use this water to enhance plant/vegetable growth in the hydroponic foam planters. The water is then purified by the plants and sent back to the fish pond. All this in a 550 sqm Library, meantime the Children are learning so much in such a beautiful environment which is naturally aligned to sustainability.
Open config, Bright library, Verdant garden, Airy design, Clean place to play and read, Flowing Koi carp, Nutritious Vegetables, efficient solar power... it goes on..
Im telling ya..... I love Vietnam!

“The core feature for the design of VAC is the Aquaponics, it is a system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. Aquaponics uses circulating water from a fish pond to provide nutrients to plants. Nitrite/nitrite bacterium will transfer the waste from the aquarium into a suitable nutrient-rich crop for plants. Water is also purified by plants and supplied to the aquarium. The system is designed with energy conservation in mind, using renewable energy (by transferring solar energy) and a reduced number of pumps by letting the water flow downwards naturally as much as possible. Besides, electricity for lighting and pumps are also provided - saved from solar panels on the roof.”
