Bassac apartments. It was one of the architectural jewels of Cambodia. The 300-metre-long Basaac Apartments were built due to the town planning director Lu Ban Hapís initiative to put up a low-cost social housing project in the 1960s. However, this government-financed housing project has been the home to 2, 500 refugees since 1979, when its legal tenants vacated the property because of the onset of decay. The structure made of concrete and brick has now given way to dangerous gaps in between the reinforced concrete walls marked by the in-growths of parasitic plants. The building can collapse any time burying alive its 2500 residents. Cambodia. January 2009., 7938011
