sunday 26 february 06
university buildings in Phnom Penh
We will again visit three remarkable, 1960s education campuses on the Russian Boulevard (the airport road) and be able to compare and contrast each:
1) The Institute of Technology of Cambodia, by Soviet designers (elegant, functional, abstract).
2) The Institute of Foreign Languages by Vann Molyvann (expressive, dynamic, metaphorical) featured in the New York Times magazine last year.
3) The Royal University of Phnom Penh by Leroy and Mondet (courageous, derivative, flawed).
………………………………………………………………
There will be morning and afternoon tours, guided by architecture students Suon Ratana and Sim Sitho.
Morning tours: Start at 8.30am, return by around 11.45pm
Afternoon tours: Start at 2.30pm, return by around 5.45pm
Transport by private bus. The tours are available in English and Khmer.
