The Design

About Past Time Verkaufszentrum

„Past Time“ ist ein Verkaufszentrum in Harbin, China, mit einer Innenfläche von 800 Quadratmetern. Der Entwurf greift das lokale architektonische Erbe auf. Roter Backstein, eine typische Textur der Außenwände alter Gebäude in Harbin, wird als Hintergrundwand ins Innere geholt und lässt die Vergangenheit wieder aufleben. Ein Kunstkorridor zeigt Fotografien von Arbeitern eines Stahlwerks und verknüpft den Raum so mit der Geschichte der Stadt. Schlichte Lederoberflächen werden mit Rahmen aus Bronze und Gold sowie einer großformatigen Kunstinstallation kombiniert, sodass historische Bezüge auf zeitgenössisches Design treffen.

Unique Properties
The project is located in Harbin. Harbin, as the Moscow of the East, has a special historical process and geographical location, which has created Harbin’s diverse culture and exotic atmosphere. Taking the responsibility of the inheritance of architectural culture, the designer extracted elements from traditional Harbin architecture and constructed a space with memories of the past and modern luxury.

Design Challenge
Balancing historical and contemporary elements is the difficulty and key point of design. Regarding the history of the city itself as a meaningful source of creation, it reflects and reorganizes the entire past years.
Research
The designer takes "industry·memory" as the design theme, and takes the historical events of the machine factory as the axis. In the processing of space and the grasp of the scale, the materials with temperature and the modelling with meaning are used to inspire our understanding of history. Enrich the story of the sales office, thereby creating an exhibition space with contemporary significance without losing modern art.
Inspiration
Red bricks are a common texture of the exterior walls of old buildings in Harbin. The designer incorporated the red brick walls as the exterior facades into the interior to evoke memories of the past. The art corridor is hung with photos of workers in the steelmaking plant, connecting the space with the history of the city and carrying the memory of urban development.
Project Duration
Heilongjiang, China
Operation Flow
The clean and minimalist leather is matched with the luxurious and beautiful bronze and golden frame, injecting modern elements into the historical tone, which is closer to the taste of modern people. In this way, historical relics and contemporary design perfectly meet here.
