A renovation project for Ha Noi''s famous One Pillar Pagoda, or Dien Huu
Pagoda, will start by the end of this month, the People''s Committee
authority of Ba Dinh District said.
Over 600 relics in Ha Noi have been seriously
damaged and are in need of immediate restoration work, but funds for the
work have not been made available in the municipal budget.
A new project run by a group of young architects and graphics experts
will use 6-dimensional (6D) technology to re a virtual capital by
restoring ancient sites.
The 964-year-old One-Pillar Pagoda, also known as Dien Huu Pagoda, in
downtown Ha Noi is about to undergo extensive renovations, a local
official has said.
The One-Pillar Pagoda, a landmark of Viet Nam''s
1,000-year old capital Thang Long-Ha Noi, has been recognised as Asia''s
most unique piece of architecture by the Asia Book of Records.
Restored photos of Ha Noi streets from the end of
the 19th century to the mid-20th century will be on display in the
capital from Thursday, as part of the programme to celebrate National
Day on Sep-tember 2.
