The Book

The book “Luang Phabang, an architectural journey” is based on the visual and technical materials produced for the nomination in 1994 of Luang Phabang to UNESCO World Heritage list. Stunning photographs and texts by heritage experts complete this fascinating insight into the history, evolution and prospects for the future of one of Asian most remarkable cities. By creating this book, the hope is to promote the magnificent city as a true treasure of the modern world, and contribute to its preservation.
