Vann Molyvann Project

The Vann Molyvann Project is an international team of architects, architectural students and other researchers working in Cambodia to document the buildings of Vann Molyvann. 

The project was founded in 2009 by Canadian architect Bill Greaves to survey, draw, document, archive, publish and raise awareness of these extraordinary buildings that are today threatened by decay and development. Vann Molyvann’s work forms one of the most important collections of postcolonial buildings in the developing world—and is of utmost importance to Cambodia’s modern architectural heritage. Under the patronage of Norodom Sihanouk, Vann Molyvann transformed Phnom Penh and Cambodia, designing the Senate, National Sports Complex, National Theatre, Council of Ministers, Chaktomuk Conference Hall, and over 60 other governmental, academic, institutional, industrial and residential buildings throughout the country.
