CHAKTOMUK CONFERENCE HALL (1961)
architect: Vann Molyvann
Perched overlooking the Tonle Sab at Chaktomuk and in close visual proximity to the Royal Palce, this multi-purpose conference hall is a creative approach to the blending of Khmer tradition with ‘New Khmer Architecture’. It still fulfils audience auditorium with excellent acoustic quality and sightlines. Restored a few years ago, after the tragic loss in 1994 of the Preah Suramarit National Theatre (also designed by Vann Molyvann), it remains one of the precious few spaces for public spectacle.
