We had a first meeting at RUFA from 9 a.m.
Prof. Ching Chhom Mony, Dean of Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism had a welcome speech for us, and then assoc. prof. Wakita, representative of the Japanese team, explained the theme of this workshop.
After we introduced ourselves each other, we made three groupes. One is on the old market, the other is on activity of alleys in urban blocks, and the last groupe is on the shophouses in the city center.
Each groupe is generally consist of four Japanese students and four Cambodian students. Research was conducted by a Japanese groupe leader and a Cambodian groupe leader. After the first meeting, campus tour was held. Cambodian students introduced their education environment to the Japanese students. Japanese students could know how the Cambodian students learn architecture in the campus. They were surprised at their ability of making architectural models.
