Close up new Lao government building

DeeHom · Veteran Member

Looking good bor Lao Nork! majority of those buildings in Vientiene was built just the way I have predicted 20 years or so ago. Don't know if anyone here will agree with me, I like to see 100% of structures in Vientiene or everywhere else in Laos to look somewhere simular to our temples to simbolized our great culture.

I am Lao Nai, but I think that we should have one area this is modernised-style building like other country..... Some area we preserve for old style building and some area for modern style building...
If all building is similar is not so interesting....

         I'm Lao Nai but i don't like your comment very much, your comment
        is seperate Lao nation and blame the same nation, you make lao
        people who live in out country hate persons who live in country.
        such the building what it can shows anything? have you even gone to
        america, canada,australia, or japan? such the building as an ant on
        eyes.
        your view and your seeing is so small, how could you asked people
         who live in out country to look at the building? you should ashmaed
         and crawl under the rug.

I am Laonork, yeah DumHom, looking good. I wonder what are they going to do with the old or former National Parliament building. I think they need to go ahead tear it down.

Once again, thank you all for the opinions but the decisions has already been made. Ohhh....I have been to many countries, enough to see all those tall glass buildings and I find it quite interesting. I don't see anything with having high rise building surrounded with glass, and we can also have the same with Lao unique architectural styles.

yeah, very funny, this can't compare to the white house.

The building takes to long to finish...in America, we finish that in a year is the most.

Mr./Miss Deehom,
you just like a fog living in a hole and looking out. you see only on spot light but not all. Please come out side and see the whole world and you will be shock...let me tell you this building compair to one small department of Arerica. I am very sure if you see the capital of USA, you will get heard attack 100%. I personnaly invite you coming out of the dark hole and will learn more before you show your idea....

   Probably, this person is a real architect or at least he has passed engineering course. He knows well how to design the city plan.

I do agree with him. It's a good idea. On the one hand, we Lao people are always proud of the fact that our culture and architecture can be preserved in Laos. This building is a government building. It would have been ashamed, if it has not been built in Lao style or Lao architecture, nothing to say to Lao people that we need to preserve our culture.

On the other hand, if this building was built in other style, it would be ugly, especially in center of Vientiane, meaning harmony is not observed. The modern building should be built in far away zone from the old zone.

very nice. I like the design. I wish they keep it this way for all building. It got a Lao traditional flare to it with the arch on the roof.
It make it distinctive. It look so much better than having the Western style type of building all over town.

I OHHH....by the way, I have lived at your nation capital for over 4 years and my HEART still function normally, also I've traveled 41 of your so call great states. So Mr Lao Loang, Have you travel 41 states yet?

Ok all you Lao Loang, personally I like to see more super structures here in Lao, but we are doing what we can with our limited budgets. I would love so see our unique styles of building to be modernized and expand into exact size of YOU NATION CAPITAL. Perhaps some of you might want to come into my office and advise me in person next time you visit YOUR former country of Birth.
