Editor's Note:
Within two years of Cambodia's independence in 1953, King Norodom Sihanouk had abdicated and was embarking in an unprecedented public construction boom that would last a decade and a half before going bust in an American-backed coup in 1970.The rapid urban and rural development that preceded Norodom Sihanouk's overthrow ranged from ambitious infrastructure projects to entirely new towns. Of the thousands of new buildings that mushroomed across the country, many stand out for their high standard and unique style--a remarkable blend of new building techniques and traditional Khmer designs that marked a decisive break from French colonial architecture.The rise and fall of New Khmer Architecture over 17 years has no parallel in modern architectural history. This book describes how such outstanding work flourished in Southeast Asia's oldest kingdom until it was dragged into almost three decades of military dictatorship, genocide and civil war. Based on six years of research in Cambodia, France and Australia, the authors recount this extraordinary period of national development with fascinating and sometimes controversial details. They also identify dozens of architects, engineers and town planners from the fifties and sixties who left a distinctly Cambodian architectural heritage that is only now being recognized.
