DESIGN NAME: Mixc Food Hall
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Space
INSPIRATION: The overall design is inspired by the local fishing culture in Ningbo, while the floor-to-ceiling metal mesh and butterfly embellishment are inspired by the sculpture "Cocoon", whose author was Zhou Li, a contemporary artist.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project aims to create an integrated one-stop dining place, opening to all kinds of diners. It integrates the local food culture and conforms to the trend culture of "eating at the right time".
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Although the cost is moderate, it brings great difficulty for the bi-curved hollow metal mesh on construction technology and engineering nodes. Inspired by Zhou Li's sculpture, the design concept is realized through hand drawing and 3D models. After further calculating the quotation and confirming with the construction firm, we split the installation into a size that can be installed and transported, and finally, it can be completed.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was designed from December 2018 to May 2021, and it finished in May 2021 in Ningbo, China.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Under the limitation of the Class A fireproof materials, common materials are used through unique technology so that it can achieve batch and modularization in the project. The colorful embellishments in the scene echo the exotic customs of people have gone to sea at the Ningbo port since ancient times.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: In order to create the same lively atmosphere of Ningbo Confraternity in the old port market, the project uses the traffic line to transform the shape of the canal, and the showcases on both sides create a sense of the market. The signboard, door head, and the logo are unified with the overall space style, and the mural interprets the cultural story of the port city fishing at different times of the year.
