From Ta Prohm to Bayon

Lecture | October 6 | 12:30-2 p.m. | Institute of East Asian Studies (2223 Fulton, 6th Floor), 6F Conference Room

Speaker: Dr. Olivier Cunin, independent scholar

Sponsor: Center for Southeast Asia Studies

This talk presents the main results of a comparative analysis of the architectural history of Buddhist Khmer temples built during the reign of King Jayavarman VII (1181-c.1218). This research has been carried out over the past decade in Cambodia and Thailand where these temples are mainly distributed. The main purpose of the research has been to develop the individual architectural histories and chronologies of these monuments, all associated with the enigmatic Bayon temple in Angkor Thom.

Dr. Olivier Cunin is a practicing architect who has been researching 12th-13th century Khmer architecture since 1999. He is a co-author of two recent books on Bayon style monuments.
