Poum Measbandol "Bandol" (d. 21-12-2023, Siem Reap, Cambodia) was a Cambodian architect, artist and architectural illustrator who collected period photographs and documents related to the history of his country, with an accent on architecture.
During his too brief worklife, Bandol was passionate about researching photographic archive, and putting architectural landmarks into historic perspective. He graciously contributed to several Angkor Database research projects.
His death in a traffic accident in December 2023 is a loss for all Cambodian culture lovers.
