“Khu Tập Thể – Rediscovering the Dream of Paradise” is a motion graphic project created to introduce a book that explores the history, culture, and architecture of Vietnam’s collective housing complexes. These apartment blocks, widely built during the socialist period, once represented an ideal vision of communal living and urban life.
Through motion design, the video revisits the nostalgic atmosphere of these neighborhoods, where everyday life, shared spaces, and close-knit communities shaped the memories of generations of residents. By combining illustration, typography, and rhythmic animation, the project transforms the book’s themes into a visual narrative that reconnects audiences with an important chapter of Vietnam’s urban history.
