Is there such a thing as modern Vietnamese architecture?

Hi everyone, just doing some research for an article on modern Vietnamese architecture, and I'm wondering what people's views are on the subject...

Are modern buildings just going to be uninspiring glass boxes? Will/do they relate to the traditional forms around them?

Is there a way of conveying a Vietnamese style in modern architecture? Obviously there are some successful attempts at modern Vietnamese interiors...but what about the structures themselves?

Anyway, there's my rambling introduction...what does anybody else think?
