Formation process of “western” street architecture during French colonial period in Hue

This paper examines the architectural formation of the Le Loi “Western” street in Hue city by collecting secondary data through articles, magazines, images, books, maps, etc. and by conducting field surveys (mainly observation and taking photos). The built time of architectural buildings along Le Loi street can be divided into 3 periods: 1876-1902; 1093-1920; and 1921-1954. The architectural characteristic of the buildings constructed in early period was classical (neo-classicism) style, French local style. The later constructed buildings began to incorporate traditional local architecture, forming the Indochine architectural style. The constructions built after 1930 were in the Art Deco architectural style.
