architects: Vann Molyvann & multi-national team
The National Sports Complex is one of a number of great aarchitectural maserpieces in Phnom Penh that adhere to canons and draw inspiration from treditional Khmer architecture. Utilised through the 60s for both national and international sporting events, public rallies to welcome state guests and spectacular political and theatrical events, this complex is in danger of being rendered useless by unsympathetic development. The product of a team effort during the 1960s, a host of architects, engineers and experts contributed their services to see this spectacular complex completed. It was originally designed to cover over 40 hectares.
