Manuscript is about the exchange of words, poetry and knowledge between Beijing and London.
The work takes the form of huge pages inscribed with poems carefully curated from Chinese and English sources.
The vast steel pieces making up this complex structure are precisely fabricated and assembled by local manufacturers in a display of China's manufacturing prowess.

At heart, though, Manuscript is simply meant to inspire people to look, listen, and make new discoveries.” – Paul Cocksedge.
Manuscript was commissioned for Beijing Design Week 2011.
