S.A.D.G review 1938
The Phsar Thmey designed by Jean Desbois
Jean Desbois was consciously inspired at the time by recent structures like the public market of LEIPZIG (1928) and the hall of BRESLAU (1913)
Its location: the central market became the centerpiece of an urban extension project, transforming this colonial and peaceful city, despite yet a royal touch, into an important capital.
The French resident mayor and members of the municipal commission
(which includes King Monivong)
wanted the status of this city to be unequivocal
a regional commercial center, and maybe even international.
He created the harmony with a space dedicated to each branch of trades and gardens outside and removable stalls listed in the specifications.
The ventilated wing project allowed not only ventilation of the building but also resistance to blast.
The Axes of Phsar Thmey somewhat shifted in orientation to honor each religion.
