Discussion on the tube-house in Hanoi ancient quarter

Concerning Hanoi ancient quarter (area of 36 streets and guilds), many researchers have used the concept of the "tube-house" and all they admit that it is the specific feature of the ancient quarter. However, it only stops in form of discribing width, length, and layout of a ground plan. According to the newest survey of the research group on the HAIDEP programme implemented by JICA, Japan, in Hanoi the tube-house built in the traditional form is few in number, almost they have been changed. Some houses have been absolutely changed, some houses still keep a part facing the street but their inner parts were built upward to 3 or 5 storey, even 7 storey buildings. The risk of losing the traditional houses is possible. The traditional tube-house is a kind of the streethouse with 2.5-4.5m width. Its length is 9 or 10 times larger than the width. The house has 1 to 3 storeys and 2 or 3 courtyards. Hence, the "tube-house" should be preserved in concrete space of Hanoi ancient quarter and only in this site it can express all respectable specific features.
