dr gene sherman, executive director of SCAF added, the design of the SCAF pavilion centers around two central pillars of vo trong nghia’s approach to architecture: the innovative use of bamboo, and his passion – and self imposed duty – to green the world’s urban landscapes with plants and vegetation.’
