Vincent Levu Tran

Vincent’s approach to his architecture might be graphic, but perhaps it's too graphic, it is as if he fast-tracked “Frank Gehry” on the first stroke, almost AT ONCE. Somehow with a work such as Vincent's, one hopes there can be more process, simply because one lacks the clarity of a “method”. These steps must be not evolved out of or from a well-defined process. Vincent works directly off his “mental image” of a project, not yet and not quite a systematic and logical way of “assessment” and evaluation of his idea. Vincent will need enormous amount of work to come to understand [better still appreciate] design process, and prototyping, a system of logical ways to assess the results of a visually driven idea, whether of curves, overlapping planes, twisting stairs or vertical shafts of spaces within a building, he needs guidance to appreciate the work in hand. Not totally lost, the design can be interesting, but he needs more polishing of his style of expression.
