The Sleuk Rith Institute by Zaha Hadid Architects (@ZahaHadidArchitects) will house the Documentation Centre of Cambodia’s one million documents in its archives and, as the largest collection of genocide related material in Southeast Asia, will become a global centre for education and research into the documentation, causes and prevention of genocide. Youk Chhang is the Founder of the Sleuk Rith Institute and Executive Director of the Documentation Centre of Cambodia, which was established by Yale University. The Institute’s name Sleuk Rith means ‘the power of the leaves’. Cambodian religious leaders have used dried leaves for centuries and scholars to document history, disseminate knowledge, and preserve culture during periods of harsh rule and grave peril. During the 1970s Youk Chhang, at the age of 15, was a prisoner under the Khmer Rouge and members of his family were victims of the regime. Through his Documentation Centre of Cambodia, he has spent more than a decade amassing details of atrocities committed by the former Cambodian regime, The Democratic Kampuchea (DK), which is also known as the Khmer Rouge. Despite the tragic history explored at the institute, Youk Chhang’s research led to the very considered brief for a building that promoted reflection and reconciliation, and also inspired and innovated.

The past weeks have been hectic. One week ago I flew to #cambodia on a business trip for 3 days and had a busy time there! I also started working with some new clients and I am back on track with my workouts. ⠀
...⠀
I am still always trying to put #selfcare and #selflove first - meditation, reflection, time in nature are super important for me! Whenever I swim or lay in the sun I feel like I am on vacation - even when I am working ⠀
...⠀
What is it that gives you the vacation feeling? Self time, sunbathing, laying in a hammock reading a book? Let me know in the comments! ⠀
