Abstract
WATERSCAPES: THE CULTURAL HERITAGE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE URBAN STRUCTURE OF HUE CITADEL IN VIETNAM
For a long time, waterscape has been as an indispensable architectural element for urban design in some cities such as Venice, Amsterdam, Suzhou etc. In the same perspective, during urban formation from 1802 to 1945, water element was closely united with Hue Citadel creating a sustainable urban development. Moreover, the FengShui methodology also sets up water as an indispensable element in layout's principle, creating waterscape of Hue City which built as an unusual combination of human and nature, the ideology of Eastern philosophy and traditional architecture of Vietnam. The model of waterway was harmoniously unified with monuments and landscape to create the identity of the local ecological system.
In the last decades, waterscape of Hue City has been experiencing main changes by the impacts of urbanization, environmental pollution, flood, causing variation of the characters of the traditional waterscape. Studying and identification of characters and values of waterscape are as the cultural heritage to preserve and promote a sustainable model which orients towards the local technology of environmental self-regulating.
