About The Unity of Zen and Martial Arts Interieur vun engem Téisgeschäft

D'Eenheet vu Zen a Kampfkonscht ass en Interieur vun engem Téisgeschäft zu Foshan, China. Den Design verbënnt déi lokal Kultur mat enger Markekultur, déi op nei Aart a Weis vum Téidrénken opbaut. Foshan ass bekannt als Heemecht vum Wing Chun, an den hëlzene Mannequin, deen am Wing Chun benotzt gëtt, huet déi raimlech Struktur inspiréiert. Horizontal a vertikal Holzelementer sinn duerch traditionell Zapfen- a Verzapfungsaarbecht verbonnen an deelen de groe Schiferraum a kloer Schichten op. Transparent Acrylboxen iwwer den Holzpouste weisen den danzende Léiw an d'Dëppemauer, Symboler vun der Lingnan-Kultur. E laangen zentrale Téidësch erënnert un d'Téibierger.

Unique Properties
The integration of Zen and Martial arts is the concept of this project, and combination of local culture and brand culture is the biggest feature. WhenmentioningFoshan, the famous Wing Chun of Yip Man (Bruce lee's master) will come to mind. The unique cultural geographical characteristics combining with brand cultureadvocatingnew tea-drinking methods has formed the concept of Zen tea and Martial arts. How to express traditional cultural symbols modernlyis also the theme of our exploration.

Production Technology
In the design of this case, the inspiration comes from the wooden dummy of Wing Chun. A horizontal and vertical humanoid structure combines with traditional mortise-tenon skills, creating a "coordinate" of the space, cutting the original large area of slate gray basement in proportion to deconstruct a rich sense of hierarchy within the space. Lingnan culture and Zen tea are interwoven, and the result of their mutual harmony in the same time and space is expressed by the transparent acrylic display boxes above the wooden stakes. The dancing lions and pot walls placed on them are the native symbols of Lingnan culture. The design expresses artistically through the origin of tea - Tea Mountain. The undulating Tea Mountain as layers of clouds, is placed in a long tea table in the center of the space. All of these balance the visual proportions while constituting a new birth of local culture and modern trends.
Design Challenge
he challenge lies in how to combine geographical characteristics with brand culture, satisfying modern young people to enjoy tea while evoking the perception of traditional culture. Many of China's unique traditional culture are slipping away little by little in the great demolition and construction of "China speed". This culture, which has accompanied for hundreds and thousands of years, is the biggest feature and the most valuable thing in this place. How to meet the needs of modern industry development while respecting and promoting the local culture is the challenge and compliance for design. In addition to the reasonable arrangement to meet the needs of the guests in various status, we also made a bold combination and interpretation of how to apply the local traditional culture in a space.
Inspiration
The design is located in Foshan, the hometown of martial arts, where was once famous for Wing Chun. UND tries to integrate modern aesthetics with brand culture, combiningthelocal culture of Foshan with Oriental Zen in the same space to interpret the unity of Zen and martial arts. Zen as the main body, martial arts as the form, and tea as the inspiration. The three come together and collide in the same space, arousing a sense of cultural belonging that the locals are proud of.
