DETAILS

1. Crazy house

At the first sight of Crazy House, 1 of the world’s 10 most bizarre buildings, you can definitely tap into the vibe of being chaotically organized  through concrete curves, twists, which are inspired by elements of Vietnamese folklore and nature. 

Moreover, We can have a deeper look into the underlying meaning of the bold relation between Crazy House uniqueness and the Vietnamese social norms in 1990s,  "Đổi Mới" (Renovation) reform.

Crazy house, occupying nearly 1,600 sq.m on Huynh Thuc Khang Street , was completed in 1990 as a personal project by architect Dang Viet Nga. The house is constructed on numerous levels with a naturalistic theme, giving it the appearance of an out-grown tree. And the People's Committee of the city of Đà Lạt described it as “expressionist”. Somehow, it’s like a way of change in Vietnamese society during that time, an intersection of traditional values and gradual effects of new economic reforms.

Besides the effects of the 'Đổi Mới' period, Đà Lạt was once a French colony and was strongly influenced not only by French architecture but also by French culture. This played an important role in shaping the mindset of the Crazy House’s owner, making the Crazy House a symbol of innovation, a departure from traditional designs, and a cultural fusion of local heritage and global artistic trends.
