About Xicang Market Buku

Pasar Xicang ialah sebuah buku yang mendokumentasikan pasar jalanan mingguan di Xi'an, China. Buku ini merakamkan objek yang digunakan sebagai gerai, cara mempamerkan barangan, papan tanda tulisan tangan dan hubungan antara manusia dengan objek. Reka bentuknya dikekalkan secara minimal supaya bahannya dipersembahkan secara ringkas. Buku ini dibahagikan kepada lapan bab: lokasi, pasar, papan tanda, gerai, kisah lisan, barangan, harga dan penjual. Setiap bab adalah tersendiri dan memulihkan sebahagian daripada suasana pasar. Kertas yang serupa dengan risalah iklan yang ditemui di pasar telah dipilih untuk satu bab.

Production Technology: The whole book is divided into eight chapters: location, market, signs, stalls, oral accounts, goods, price and vendors according to the main elements of a local market. Therefore, the idea is to minimize the design and restore the scene of the marketplace (e.g. the supplement part) by every independent chapter. For example, the paper of advertising flyers frequently appeared in Xicang market is the option as the paper of certain chapter of the book to reflect the character of a market by its special texture.
Design Challenge: Xicang market was 100 years old and has certainly changed a lot over the 20 years in China,The design of the book also well conformed to the creator’s intention- simply a presentation. The whole book is divided into eight chapters: location, market, signs, stalls, oral accounts, goods, price and vendors according to the main elements of a local market. Therefore, the idea is to minimize the design and restore the scene of the marketplace (e.g. the supplement part) by every independent chapter.
Research: Observe the Transitional China from the Disappearing Market in Urban Areas ,Xi’an, the ancient city in China, is in a great change. A market like Xicang market, held at the same time and same place every week, preserving all the vivid civil life here, rarely exists now in a city. People here are unusually vivid, typical Xicang and local.We hope to record and present with this book.
Inspiration: The choice of the objects to be used as stalls, the way of displaying, the daily design of the handwritten signs and the relationship between people and objects, are the most prominent features the book want to show. Therefore, the idea is to minimize the design and restore the scene of the marketplace by every independent chapter.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2015 in Xi'an and finished in August 2018 in Xi'an,and was exhibited in Xi'an urban memory museum in October 2018.
