TEN:26 — TEN YEARS OF VA-NG

VA-NG recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary with TEN:26, an evening dedicated to reflection, dialogue, and the people who have shaped the studio’s journey over the past decade.

Bringing together clients, collaborators, partners, friends, and team members, the event marked an important moment for the practice — not only to look back on ten years of work across cultures and contexts, but also to look ahead toward the future of the studio.

Since its founding in 2015, VA-NG – Van Aelst I Nguyen & Partners has grown into an international architecture and façade engineering practice, working on projects across Vietnam, Europe, and the Middle East. Throughout this journey, the studio has remained committed to creating meaningful and exciting places that respond to both people and context.

Rather than focusing only on completed work, TEN:26 centered around the conversations, collaborations, and shared ambitions that continue to drive the practice forward. The evening included a video overview highlighting key projects from the studio’s first ten years, moments of exchange between guests and collaborators, and reflections on the evolving role of architecture in shaping communities and environments.

VA-NG was honoured by the presence of Karl Van den Bossche, who joined the celebration and shared a few words during the evening.

As the studio enters its next chapter, TEN:26 serves not as a conclusion, but as a foundation for future collaborations, ideas, and projects still to come.

A short film documenting the event will be released soon.
