# HIÊN STUDIO - sources and notes

A fictional architecture practice and frontend showcase by Lucas Nguyen. It reproduces a portion of an architecture-studio website Lucas designed and built (splash, featured carousel, works grid by project scale, project slideshow) with invented content. English and Vietnamese follow the portfolio's language setting, defaulting to Vietnamese. Project names, years, areas and locations are fictional; no photographed building is attributed to this studio.

## Photography

All twelve photographs were taken in Vietnam and downloaded from Pexels; they are not AI-generated. The [Pexels license](https://www.pexels.com/license/) permits free use. Images are stored locally, resized and compressed for the web, and may be cropped or shown in grayscale by the layout.

These are reference photographs for fictional projects. The photographed buildings are not work by HIÊN STUDIO. Project names and project locations in the demo are invented; the verified photo locations are listed below. Asset filenames are internal identifiers, not architectural attributions.
