Social networks are also an information channel, with many replies and criticisms from public opinion. In particular, in addition to baseless criticism and opposition, there are many valid and valuable opinions.
Many people with expertise in architecture, culture, especially Hanoi culture and history, their opinions are very objective and scientific.
There must be a love for Hanoi and a sense of responsibility for the country, to study and research hard to give comments. We must view social criticism with such a positive perspective to be able to progress.
There are people who are willing to criticize in a constructive way, those opinions are not worth paying attention to. But for those who are dedicated, have the right point of view, have a basis for history, culture, aesthetics, planning, and architecture, they must "wash their ears and listen".
Mr. Nguyen Manh Cuong, Deputy Director of the Institute of Urban Architecture Planning, Hanoi University of Construction (the research unit, consulting on the design of the renovation and improvement plan for Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square) said:
"From now until the second phase, we will listen to public feedback. We will also conduct a sociological survey of people who directly visit this space. After listening to the opinions of the people, the design unit will come up with the most harmonious and suitable solution".
Listening to public feedback is very subjective, but listening to who and whether you really listen or not is important.
An architectural work in the heart of the capital, with a prime location, a part of the face of Hanoi with a thousand years of civilization, cannot be consulted in a popular way, "plowing in the middle of the road", but must be the gray matter of those with deep expertise, prestigious researchers and scientists.
Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square has many construction items, including a large yard, walkway, trees, stone benches, etc., each construction item contributes to the common space of the entire square.
The building with an LED screen is a project that the public is interested in with many concerns, such as design, aesthetic quality, harmony with the architecture of the old town and Hoan Kiem Lake space, all of which must be answered objectively and convincingly.
Building Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square with sustainable technical and aesthetic quality is worthy of this position.
