This paper presents initial findings on the study of the Complex of Hue Monuments by analysing the site planning principles of Emperor Minh Mang’s Mausoleum, constructed during the Nguyen Dynasty (1802–1945) in Vietnam. The research is based on reliable historical documents from the Nguyen Dynasty, along with database sources provided by Waseda University and the Hue Monuments Conservation Center. It investigates the history of the mausoleum’s construction and restoration, the planning principles applied, and the role of Feng Shui (geomantic) concepts in its design.
Throughout this study, key design ideas and site planning
principles have been identified, including symmetry, the orderly progression of
grid axes, and the systematic deployment of construction units. These findings
offer an effective framework for understanding the distinctive architectural
features and site planning of Emperor Minh Mang’s Mausoleum.
