The project positions landscape design as a "knowledge bridge" that adapts international urban design standards to local knowledge, the tropical climate, and the cultural context of Ho Chi Minh City.
In addition to developing green spaces at ground level, the project also introduces vertical greenery on building facades to increase shaded areas throughout the campus. Native fruit-bearing plants are integrated to create a balance between a global spatial identity and the preservation of local vegetation systems.

The new gate proposal — featuring a green roof — not only increases shaded areas for the campus, but also promotes sustainable landscape development, expands diverse planting areas, and preserves native vegetation to help reduce heat across the university campus.

This is one of the locally adaptive design strategies aimed at preserving and sustaining native plant species. Rather than conventional planting, it is an experimental and calculated intervention that allows the space to naturally interact with insects, flora, and fauna within its own ecosystem.
Green infrastructure and ecological water management are core components of the Glocal Design package, addressing chronic flooding issues on campus through ecological drainage strategies.
