Tchotchke Plate Factory:Exploration of Double Void Space
Spring 2022_Views on: The Vessel
The core intent of the Tchotchke Plate Factory is to act as a vessel which creates a connection between the voids interacting with other programs and the tertiary spaces formed as an outcome of this. It is designed for manufacturing tchotchkes plates, a limited collection every month with prints on top designed by renowned artists. The factory invites people to engage with the screen printing process of the manufacturing plates while providing a vast outdoor terrace and courtyard that introduce a welcoming sense of space and light that can flow through the factory. In the structural concept, the voids blur the boundary of interior-exterior spaces, enabling the creation of a field of vision in the whole form. While these courtyards also configure the factory's workflow, they serve different purposes. The grand production happens on the first floor, while other floors serve for more social interaction with its screen printing workshop and gallery space which also serves as a storage.
