Tradition and Innovation: The Modernist legacy in Cambodia and Vietnam

Date: Tuesday, 06 February 2018, from 18:15 to 19:15.
Venue: City of Edinburgh Methodist Church, 25 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh EH8 9BX.
Organiser: Docomomo Scotland.

In this Docomomo Scotland talk, Nick Haynes, an architectural historian living in Edinburgh, will share Modernist impressions of his recent journey through Cambodia and Vietnam. More holiday slideshow than academic lecture, the tour will take us to various places in both countries, looking at the fascinating mid-20th century legacy of architectural and urban planning in socialist Southeast Asia. This will, of course, feature the architecture of the Cambodian star architect Vann Mollyvann, but also many works by other designers.
