Product/Proposal: The team created a 5,000-word report depicting 2 distinct scenarios of how people will work, live, and play in Ho Chi Minh City in 2050. They also made a showcase, which was a 3D model of how they envision the city to be like in 2050, along with a 15-minute presentation.

Description: The team's showcase, leveraging the elegance of 3D printing, serves to visually encapsulate the team’s vision of Ho Chi Minh City in 2050, juxtaposing the two possible realities in a side-by-side miniature model. To complement the physical showcase, the team has accompanied their efforts with an interactive virtual map which will include greater details of the features of these two futures. This two-pronged, hybrid approach will give viewers immersive and insightful views into how these two futures will be like.
