The Framework Pavilion explores with revealing the structural design of architecture and making it the centre piece for the pavilion, taking something some people might find controversial such as "unfinished" or "incomplete" looking designs and transforming them into an impressive yet aesthetically pleasing sculpture. This is what makes this pavilion an art form, it encourages people to think about what the reasoning behind this structure is, and how many seemingly bad things can be combined to make something good.

Engkhor is a hand drawn fusion typeface that re-imagines what a typeface could look like if two entirely different letters from two entirely different languages are merged into one. Through Engkhor, the visual characteristics of the Khmer alphabet is combined with the modern English alphabet.

Engkhor: a type specimen

The 'U' represents potential energy within you, the individual. You can't see it, but it's there, waiting to be pursued. Inspired by the law of entropy; gravity and suspension imitate the stationary energy we have built within us; our treasures and inner spark awaiting release. The 'U' is a flexible form, easily distorted, but just like us it's dependent . We all hold a unique narrative, built form connections and experiences intertwined with the chaotic disorder in our lives. Organic curves and fragile layers shape a letterform inspired by the spontaneous twists and turns of the human experience.
