Abstract

In the spatial configuration of a unit plan, two rules exist: one governs the arrangement of spaces, and the other controls the design process for generating a unit plan. This study defined space grammar as an integration of the two rules that gives birth to a spatial configuration, and as the process for generating unit plans. To understand the distinctive features of Vietnamese apartment design, this study analyzed the unit plans of apartments in the Phu My Hung New Urban Development(PMH) in Ho Chi Minh City, by space grammar. A total of 132 unit plans built in PMH between 2006 and 2018 were collected from the web sites of real estate agents and developers. The major order of spatial configurations was found to be E - D - L, where an entrance leads directly to a dining space, the traffic center of the house, and then connects to a living room. The kitchen was situated close to the entrance and accompanied by an open yard. The separation of the kitchen from the rest of the unit is unique characteristic of early apartments, but in the apartments analyzed in this study, the kitchens tended to be combined with dining rooms or to open onto living spaces.
