　　在快速城市化的情況下，越南的城市已經(jīng)不再像從前一樣有蔓延生長(cháng)的熱帶森林。以胡志明市為例，整個(gè)城市只有0.25%的面積被綠化覆蓋。摩托車(chē)的過(guò)度使用造成了交通堵塞和嚴重的空氣污染。因此，城市地區的新一代居民正逐步失去與自然的聯(lián)系。

　　Under rapid urbanization, cities in Vietnam have diverged far away from their origins as rampant tropical forests. In Ho Chi Minh City, as an example, only 0.25% area of the entire city is covered by greenery. Over-abundance of motorbikes causes daily traffic congestion as well as serious air pollution. As a result, new generations in urban areas are losing their connections with nature.

　　“樹(shù)屋”（House for Trees）的預算為15.5萬(wàn)美元，旨在為了改變當前城市存在的這種情況。項目目標是讓綠色空間回歸城市，讓高密度住宅能夠容納高大的熱帶樹(shù)木。這里有五個(gè)混凝土建成的方盒形空間，每個(gè)盒子都有不同的功能。它們被設計成“花盆”，頂部種植有樹(shù)木。由于土層較厚，這些“花盆”還可以被用作雨水蓄水池。因此，當這個(gè)設計理念在未來(lái)應用到大量的房屋時(shí)，將有助于降低城市中發(fā)生洪水的風(fēng)險。

　　"House for Trees", a prototypical house within a tight budget of 155,000 USD, is an effort to change this situation. The aim of project is to return green space into the city, accommodating high-density dwelling with big tropical trees. Five concrete boxes, each houses a different program, are designed as "pots" to plant trees on their tops. With thick soil layer, these "pots" also function as storm-water basins for detention and retention, therefore contribute to reduce the risk of flooding in the city when the idea is multiplied to a large number of houses in the future.
