The White Building Exploration

In August of 2017, we started a new exploration round, which is the White Building Exploration. In order to have a better understanding of the White Building being knocked down, we started the class by skim through the pass eviction that had happened in Phnom Penh. And then we started to get directly into our topic, the White Building. After interviewing different people, I realized that it is really hard to choose between preserve these art communities and develop the urban growth. At the end of this exploration, we will be creating a documentary, podcast, as well as the other mini-final product as well. I really hope these powerful products will be widely spread to the Cambodian new generation, so that they can learn about this historical, amazing architect building, although it had vanished. After learning about all the horrible eviction, I really hope we would try our best provent Phnom Penh from having more of these violence eviction over and over again.
