“Did they really name all these buildings after flowers?” a student wondered aloud, her voice echoing slightly in the spacious courtyard of Giảng đường Tường Vi. It’s true! This building, Giảng đường Tường Vi, is just one of many at Nong Lam University named after beautiful flowers. The university, a sprawling green oasis in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, is known for its unique charm. Founded in 1955, Nong Lam University has a rich history. It’s one of the largest universities in Vietnam, with a campus spanning nearly 120 hectares. The buildings, including Giảng đường Tường Vi, are nestled amidst a network of paths named after various tree species. The design of the university, a testament to Vietnamese architecture, is credited to architect Ngo Viet Thu. He is renowned for his work on iconic structures like the Reunification Palace. The decision to name the buildings after flowers like Tường Vi, Cam Tu, Phuong Vy, and Huong Duong adds a touch of poetic beauty to the academic environment. It’s said that the abundance of trees and flowers attracts numerous bird species, making the campus feel like a small forest.
