Hồ Chi Minh City, otherwise known as Sai-gon, like many thriving cities in the East, possesses an intriguing character of duality-an identity straddling opposing forces. The city is both a physical place and a collective consciousness, whose memories are simultaneously written and re-written over by convoluted acts of construction and destruction. This condition of duality is the core theme of exploration in this thesis, with the intent to reveal the underlying forces at play in a city's nuanced process of self-adjusting.Perhaps one of the most controversial icons of Vietnam's modern era, the Tan Son Nhất Airport holds many different memories and meanings to the people of Vietnam-repression and resistance, exploitation and subversion, or civility and dispossession. The airport has always been in tension, between the thrive for modernization and a global city, against the right to the city for its people. The news about the Tan Son Nhất Airport expansion and the scandal around the misuse of airport/government land started the interest for this thesis in finding out what exactly is built there, who is occupying that area day-to-day, and how they use the space. Around the airport the boundary between authority and free will may seem more apparent, yet it speaks to the condition of duality of the city.The self-adjusting architecture proposes the translation of the dynamically temporal nature of movements, actions and interactions of the everyday life into a physical construct that can adjust itself to meet any needs of its user-occupier, while capturing its own course of transformation and re-absorbing the produced form and socio-cultural implications to evolve. The result is a structure-network that perform in time and space on the physical site of the city, while oscillating the role of the person as the user, spectator, and actor of architecture.
