About Xicang Market Pangunahing Gamit: Aklat

Ang Xicang Market ay isang aklat na nagdodokumento ng lingguhang palengke sa kalye sa Xi'an, China. Itinatala ng aklat ang mga bagay na ginagamit bilang mga tindahan, ang mga paraan ng pagtatanghal ng mga paninda, ang mga sulat-kamay na karatula at ang ugnayan sa pagitan ng mga tao at mga bagay. Pinanatiling payak ang disenyo upang simpleng maipakita ang materyal. Ang aklat ay nahahati sa walong kabanata: lokasyon, palengke, mga karatula, mga tindahan, mga salaysay na pasalita, mga paninda, presyo at mga nagtitinda. Ang bawat kabanata ay malaya at ibinabalik ang bahagi ng tanawin ng palengke. Isang papel na katulad ng mga polyetong pang-anunsyo na matatagpuan sa palengke ang pinili para sa isang kabanata.

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.

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.
