The building is the only representative of Vietnamese architecture to attend the prestigious event that will take place in Portugal in December.

Now in its 13th year, the WAF is the world’s largest annual festival and live awards competition dedicated to celebrating and sharing architectural excellence from across the globe.

On a total area of 20,000sq.m, the Veil event, designed by architect Nghiem Dinh Toan from me+ Architect Company and exhibition center is conceived from architectural inspiration drawn from a bride’s veil on her wedding day.

Seen from the outside, The Veil with its translucent design embraces the walkways and creates folds for the building. It can accommodate up to 6,500 people.
