Production Technology

We pursue the presentation of traditional oriental aesthetics in the project design. Chinese style and artistic conception are brought into the design, use the ways to carving instead of printing to grasp Chinese Charm, change complexity to the simple, adjust in material and simplify in shape elements like Chinese traditional pitched roof and dragon scales, meanwhile shall focus on the design essentials in function. That is, return to the users and bring them spiritual pleasure.

Design Challenge

Re-look through and explore Chinese culture, and create new fashion of MADE IN CHINA, which makes Chinese regain the emphasis on our own culture. However, Chinese culture lies in its charm instead of single accumulation in form.
The design difficulties this time lie in both meeting aesthetic needs of people and usage needs in life referring to how to express the traditional culture.

Research

In modern baptism, the popular European aroma and being unfamiliar with our own traditional culture are our collective self lost in this era.
This project lies in improving the life quality and the recognition degree on this culture through contemporary expression on Chinese traditional culture.
After a questionnaire, site analysis and a deep research on the Forbidden City. The axis layout with three organised pattern was made with contemporary expression on traditional homing etiquette.

Inspiration

Since China has developed from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization, the history never goes back. The Chinese peaceful and indifferent life aesthetics and faith for integration of nature and human are challenged and neglected.
We do not deny development, but China needs to regain attention to its own culture at this stage.

Project Duration

The project started in May 2018 in Chongqing and finished in May 2019 in Chongqing.

Operation Flow

Combining long and narrow site condition, and getting inspiration from the spatial structure of the Forbidden City, create relationship of three-pattern, and achieve multiple homing feelings. By rational utilization of different height of site, achieve conversation among spaces. Combining the outdoor space of principal axis with empty space of first floor in the building, and create ultra huge experiential living pavilion, and lead people from indoor to outdoor. Also introduce natural plant community to the site, and create micro-climate life circle and ecological green living place.
