About Xicang Market Knjiga
Xicang Market je knjiga koja dokumentuje nedeljnu uličnu pijacu u Sijanu, Kina. Knjiga beleži predmete koji se koriste kao tezge, načine izlaganja robe, ručno pisane natpise i odnos između ljudi i predmeta. Dizajn je zadržan minimalnim kako bi se materijal jednostavno predstavio. Knjiga je podeljena na osam poglavlja: lokacija, pijaca, natpisi, tezge, usmena svedočanstva, roba, cene i prodavci. Svako poglavlje je nezavisno i vraća deo pijačne scene. Za jedno poglavlje odabran je papir sličan reklamnim lecima koji se mogu naći na pijaci.

- 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

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.
