Siemréap Architectural heritage at risk: 1953-1970 Public buildingsIn the years following independencea will at the national level transpiredto modernise the country’s image.While the focus was on Phnom Penhfor urban planning development, SiemReap showed only a few signs of thisnew input. Nevertheless, some buildingsillustrate this trend for modernstylearchitecture. For example: thetribunal (1958, Seng Suntheng), theprince’s villa (1963, Laurent Mondet),the “Preah Vihear” stadium, severalschools including Suryavarman II Highschool(1959), the International airportterminal (1963, Vann Molyvann). 60sarchitecture and the predominance ofconcrete gave a new proile to Khmerarchitecture. There was a reinterpretationof the cultural tradition and a metamorphosisinto a more modern architecture,adapting the ancient architecturalgrammar to the climatic stresses of thecountry, associating natural ventilation(stilts, length imposts, through rooms,cold/hot draughts) with rain/sun shelteringdevices. This exogenous architectureit well with the country landscapeand climatic environment. The constructionfeatures simple architectural lines,made of roof-terraces and of functionaland minimalist ornamentations. Toexperiment with the volume, transparencyand screen organisation presentedclimatic solutions. Components suchas sun breakers, canopies and openworkdesign of screen walls of different heightscontributed to the architecturalcomposition of the facades, punctuatedby large sections of stone walls.“Tropical modernism” inluenced theyears following independence.
