Raintree is proud to invite you to Modern Architecture: Echoes + Reflections, a major exhibition dedicated to exploring the rich heritage and lasting impact of the New Khmer Architecture movement, in collaboration with the Vann Molyvann Project and NK-A.
The exhibition presents rare, previously unseen architectural materials from the Vann Molyvann Project and the Vann Molyvann Private Collection, showcasing eight pivotal yet lesser seen projects by nine Cambodian and international architects. Alongside these, the exhibition features contemporary artworks inspired by this architectural legacy, created by seven local and regional artists.
This is more than just an exhibition – it’s a journey through Cambodia’s architectural evolution and its relevance, retrospectively and today. Alongside the exhibition, we’re launching a series of community events, including architecture tours, screenings by award-winning Cambodian filmmakers, and panel discussions focused on the intersection between architecture and climate resilience. Be among the first to register.
