UNESCO's Impact at Preah Vihear — capitalist universalism.

UNESCO's Impact at Preah Vihear studies the armed conflict between Cambodia and Thailand for the neoliberal profits of a UNESCO Khmer temple. The project's key goal is to analyze the impact of a UNESCO label using satellite imagery acquired through USGS and propose an intervention that responds to the insights gained.

I developed this project individually in Mark Wasiuta's Collecting Architecture Territories' studio at Columbia GSAPP in the Spring of 2017. I was responsible with finding and researching a site to work with, telling a story about it, and developing a design proposal. This project was developed over a period of twelve weeks, including a two weeks of field work in South East Asia.
