Production Technology

After receiving this project, the designer team came to Xinjiang for cultural investigation. Designers grasp elements from the process of "grinding bricks for joints" in local buildings, Draw all kinds of figures, and completes the visual image design of the whole restaurant. Only by using "on-site processing" and "factory production and on-site installation" can the project be promoted at the same time.

Design Challenge

The most difficult part is: how to use visual elements to integrate more than 50 different ethnic cultures in Xinjiang into a whole, and finally we express the feeling of different ethnic groups coming together through "Brick grinding and butt joint" technology.

Research

Considering the industry attributes of customers, it is a large-scale Xinjiang restaurant integrating style interpretation, cultural and creative products and featured catering. It not only provides delicious food, but also undertakes the responsibility of promoting Xinjiang culture. Xinjiang has dozens of different nationalities. The eastern and Western cultures meet here. So it takes a lot of effort to express so many elements in the same place. The designer team refined a slogan: "Xinjiang is very big, it's enough to come here". It fits the characteristics of the project well. But how should visual elements be reflected? Designers found that all the building surfaces in Xinjiang have extremely exquisite brick collage patterns, which are seamlessly spliced into a perfect figure by hand polished bricks, which is very close to the restaurant's characteristics of "integrating cultures of different nationalities". Therefore, the designer team started with “rubbed brickwork” elements to create this magnificent Xinjiang restaurant project. After the completion of the project, it has been highly appreciated by all sectors of society, and each nation can see its own culture here.

Inspiration

Designer get inspiration from the unique traditional craft of grinding bricks and butt joints of local buildings. Designer following the form of grinding brick splicing, various cultural elements in Xinjiang are made into various graphics. The splicing blocks represent multiculturalism, but also represent the inclusive mentality of Xinjiang's opening to the outside world. Each Square block represents a different culture. Together, they form a picture of "World Solidarity", which reconnects the world through the new silk road.
