RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Owing to our client had various brands of retail stores, our research is to conducting site visits their multi-brand sneakers shops and developing a brand new space. Meanwhile, we explored other ways of creating a diversified ceiling and stylish window display to achieve visual attraction. Our design required more machining, more complex assembly procedures to ensure that is well functional and secure, an ideal solution is to seek traditional craftsman to apply their knowledge on our new design language.
CHALLENGE: Meet tight schedule, accurate calculations, delicate craftsmanship are challenges of this project. As we had only 10 nights for site work in core shopping mall. Hence, accurate drawings, well preparation and good planning are essential. The irregular triangle shaped ceiling were extraordinary in 2008, the technique is also a challenge for craftsman. Accurate technical drawings is required for making modular component at factory, this could reduce actual site work time.
