Light Industrial Building Design Towards Sustainable Development in the Southern Key Economic Region of Vietnam

Designing buildings towards sustainable development is currently a trend in architecture, and it applies to industrial building design as well. While the Southern key economic region of Vietnam has the highest number and growth rate of light industrial buildings in the country, the idea of designing these industrial works in the direction of sustainable development is not yet widely known. The objective of the study is to evaluate the design quality of light industrial buildings in the region and to analyze the conditions affecting the design. From there, solutions can be proposed to improve the quality of factory space. The research methods include conducting field surveys, sociological surveys of workers, and meta-analysis of issues related to light industrial building design. The outcomes of the research will serve as a point of reference for industrial building investors and architects to encourage the implementation of sustainable development-oriented solutions in the field of industrial building design in the future. Establishing factories in the direction of sustainable development not only enhances worker productivity, but also enables businesses to improve their brand value, reduce energy consumption, and contribute to environmental conservation.
