Dr. Le Vinh An began his engagement with the conservation of Hue's cultural heritage in 1992 when he was a student. His field of study includes Heritage Urban Cities, Architectural Heritage, Conservation, and Reconstruction of Heritage Buildings. In 2009, he successfully defended his PhD thesis concerning research on the reconstruction of the Can Chanh Dien palace (勤政殿), the most important palace of the Hue Imperial City that collapsed in 1947 due to the first Indochina War of 1945-1954. He received a doctorate in Science and Engineering from Waseda University, Japan. In 2013, he successfully carried out a reconstruction project on applying Realtime-Rendering technology to reconstruct the Thieu Phuong Vien royal garden (紹芳園) of the Nguyen dynasty in Hue. The project was successfully reconstructed and was awarded the first prize for scientific innovation in Thua Thien Hue Province. In 2018, Dr. Le Vinh An and his colleagues developed a methodology for teaching architectural design projects based on the application of the C-D-I-O thesis. This methodology was approved by the National Association of Architects and 40 architect training establishments in Vietnam, winning the first prize for Vietnam's best architectural project teaching method. From 2019 to 2024, he conducted numerous valuable scientific studies published in the International Journals of Architectural Heritage and the Journal of Buildings. Thus, in early 2024, he was honored with the "Golden Pen" award by the Vietnamese National Association of Architects. His next goal is to further develop and establish the “Architectural Heritage DNA” formula that he has been researching for the past 25 years. Moreover, he aims to pass on this knowledge to future generations for their continued development.
