Publication Sponsorship

The Build4People project has sponsored the English and the Khmer language edition of the Architectural Guide Phnom Penh.

The Build4People project has sponsored this publication because it provides various valid information on sustainability aspects of traditional and contemporary architecture in Phnom Penh. The guidebook also contains interviews with pioneering architects of Cambodia, today, thereby raising awareness on issues of green buildings. Consequently, Build4People uses the publication as means of capacity building based on the rich architecture tradition in Cambodia. One of the editors of the guidebook, Walter Koditek, was member of the Build4People Scientific Advisory Board during Definition Phase.
