*Formgivning (Formgiving) —the Danish word for design—means to give form to that which has not yet been given form to the future. In other words, to give form to the world that we would like to find ourselves living in the future.
Formgiving in Architecture is a key concept that goes beyond traditional design, involving the shaping and creation of objects, environments, and systems with a deep consideration of their functional, aesthetic, and emotional aspects. It is an approach that integrates art, science, and technology to craft forms that not only fulfill practical needs but also evoke a meaningful experience for users. Formgiving emphasizes the relationship between form and function, ensuring that the design is both purposeful and pleasing to the senses.
Vi Boi Studio is a multidisciplinary architecture and design practice founded by Vi Boi Huynh (David), dedicated to exploring the intersections of architecture, interiors, product design, creative concepts, custom LEGO models (MOCs), and storytelling. Based in Ho Chi Minh City and San Francisco, the studio creates innovative design solutions that connect people, culture, technology, and the environment through thoughtful and imaginative experiences.
At Vi Boi Studio, every project begins with a simple question: How can design inspire the way we live, work, and connect? The studio believes architecture is not only about creating buildings, but about shaping meaningful experiences, memories, and communities. Through a combination of research, conceptual exploration, digital visualization, and physical model-making, Vi Boi Studio transforms ideas into immersive design narratives.
Founded on the principle of “Formgiving Without Limits,” highlights our mission as a formgiver—to create spaces, ideas, and futures that have yet to take shape. It positions play as a limitless tool for creativity, collaboration, and innovation, transcending traditional boundaries of education, work, and community.
"I believe our role is to shape the future by transforming our clients' visions into reality. We guide them in dreaming, defining, and designing the spaces where they aspire to live and work, creating environments that reflect their goals and aspirations."
