The General Meeting of the EFEO, held every two years, is on 5th to 7th September in Paris. It brings together all the teacher-researchers currently active in Asia and in France along with the administrative staff of the head office. It is an opportunity, too, to consider the most recent changes to the institutional environment of the Ecole and have an overview of the projects in progress. This year there will be a thematic session, open to guests from outside, focused on the question of cooperative research in the field of Asian heritage: new approaches, development of partnership modalities, etc. Several of those responsible for cultural institutions working with Asia (Musée Guimet, Musée Cernuschi, Ecole de Chaillot...) will join members of the Ecole for that session which begins with the presentation of the work of Pascal Royère on the Baphuon, edited by Charlotte Schmid, for which the EFEO has received the Singer-Polignac Foundation prize.

In 1995, The École française d'Extrême-Orient charged Pascal Royère with the furtherance and achievement of the anastylosis of one of the highest mountain-temples on the Angkor site, the Baphuon. In July 2011 the inauguration ceremony was held to mark the achievement of a restoration which respects the initial Hindu impulsion of the monument as much as it does the figure of Buddha modelled earlier in its stones. The particular constraints of this immense site with its three hundred thousand stones whose original position is unknown has stimulated a scientific work of which this publication is the fruit. For more than a decade, Pascal Royère has been carrying out this research work on the basis of a daily encounter with architectural references and the building techniques used by the construction masters of ancient Cambodia. The Khmer mountain temple, an architectural formula limited to Angkorian time and space, of the Town up until the end of the 12th century, is restored according to the very particular aesthetic of Baphuon, the titanic nature and the rigor of the architectural factions characterising the urban implantation of Angkor, with an astonishing mixture of materials - sand, laterite and sandstone, to which are added today concrete and resin - the structural fragility of a temple built, literally, on sand and the changes that have marked its history: a living moment, testament to the ingenuity of those "construction masters" who, in the 11th century, inscribed the Baphuon on the urban, devotional, political and artistic landscape of Angkor.

These are Barus-Bukit Hasang (2001-2005), on the west coast, occupied between the 12th and the beginning of the 16th centuries; Si Pamutung (2006-2010), in the middle of the island (region of Padang Lawas), occupied between the 9th and 13th centuries; Kota Cina (since 2011), on the straits of Malacca, probably significantly occupied between the 11th and the beginning of the 14th centuries.
