DESIGN NAME: Chuans Kitchen II
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Restaurant
INSPIRATION: Traditional folk culture, is derived from daily and spiritual needs of the mass. The reason of folk culture endangerment lies in the loss of its original living needs and significance, as well as its separation from folk life. Breaking through the boundary of materials and exploring the modern form of traditional folk art, Infinity Mind extracted the gaskets discarded after firing process of Yingjing's black earthenware, and use them as the main decoration element in Chuan's Kitchen II.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Chuan's Kitchen II, an experimental restaurant that takes both the Sichuan Yingjing's black earthenware and mined soil materials from metro construction as the medium, is an innovative combination of modern commercial space and culture of Sichuan cuisine, carrying on the contemporary re-creation of traditional folk art and farming civilization.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Designersinterlace and weave the arcs into a huge chain net. The tall gasket net is connected with the vertical iron wall, together forming a 20 meters facade and marking off the dining areas. The high-ceilinged space displays a strong sense of shocking vision.
The gasket nets enclose two dinning areas that meet different dining needs and enrich the spatial layers, at the same time, eliminate the strong sense of volume of the two bearing columns in the space. The black gaskets are also customized into pendant lamps and hung up within, strengthening the experience of this special material.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in July 2018 in Guangzhou and finished in September 2018 in Guangzhou.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: These gaskets are used to separate the coal and greenware during the firing process then discarded in the wild after repeated use of seven or eight times. It takes time to recycle and process to find a suitable wasted gasket.
Using the recycled waste materials from Guangzhou metro construction, designersapplied ancient rammed earth building technique and modern integrated casting technique, the degradable tiles retain the simple and natural texture of soil.
