Vann Molyvann is a key figure of the New Khmer Architecture - architectural movement of the 1950s and 60s when Khmer culture was modernised under the patronage of king Norodom Sihanouk. From many of his work I especially admire the Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh built in advance of the Southeast Asian Games of 1963, which were never held. Molyvann was inspired by temples of ancient Angkor and he transfered its monumental form into modern structure.
