Cambodia / Phnom Penh / 2013 / Little Stories Of Phnom Penh / The staircase of the famous delapidated White Building. Originally known as the Municipal Apartments and inaugurated in 1963, the iconic lines of Phnom PenhХs White Building were designed by Cambodian architect Lu Ban Hap and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Bodiansky. Part of the Bassac River Front complex, overseen by famed urban planner Vann Molyvann, the modernist structure was built during the stability of King Father Norodom SihanoukХs Sangkum Reastr Niyum period and contained 468 apartments aimed at lower and middle-class Cambodians. It might soon be demolished. © Marylise Vigneau / Anzenberger
