After the atomic bombardment of Hiroshima, an American peace activist Dr. Schmoe rebuilt several houses in the destroyed city. They were called "Hiroshima Houses". In them were portrayed the most radical liberty and dignity of architecture.
The Hiroshima House which the citizens of Hiroshima are now building in Phnom Penh might be conceived as an international extension to Dr. Schmoe's Hiroshima Houses. This will function as an archive gallery for both Hiroshima's destruction and of the holocaust by Pol Pot, containing an orphanage, school of peace, accommodational facilities, and a woodwork studio.
Architecture is not everlasting, but for some moments in history it could function as a resting place for memories of the people.
