The Historical and Architectural Significance of VNA Headquarters

A Journey Through Time

Located in a prime location on Ly Thuong Kiet Street, the VNA building stands as a historical witness, having witnessed the ups and downs of the capital city. Built during the French colonial period, the building bears the hallmarks of classical French architecture with exquisite and meticulous details.

According to Pierre Dubois, a French architect who had the opportunity to study this building, it was designed by the renowned architect Delaval in the early 20th century. “The building clearly reflects the French colonial architectural style of that period with strong, harmonious lines and a large window system that brings a spacious and naturally lit space,” Dubois shared.

Unique Architecture – A Blend of East-West Cultures

The building impresses with its harmonious combination of French architecture and traditional Vietnamese aesthetics. The traditional bright red tile roof combined with the arched window system in European style creates a whole that is both ancient, solemn, modern, and liberal.

Not only a workplace for journalists, the VNA building at 5 Ly Thuong Kiet Street is also a symbol of the East-West cultural exchange and a testament to the continuous development of the thousand-year-old capital city of Hanoi.
