Abstract
The report provides detailed plans and illustrations for locally adapted materials, land feature differences affecting types of housing and latrines, and evolving house construction capacities congruent with inhabitants’ skills and needs. This is a detailed and thoughtfully structured manual. There are 125,000 people who live at the Angkor site. Contemporary design principles appropriate for villagers’ houses in the protected area of the World Heritage Site of Angkor were formulated in detailed plans (2007, 2008). The housing typology was to satisfy requirements of APSARA (Authority for the Protection and Management of Angkor and the Region of Siem Rap).
