Artisan Echoes: A Unique Cultural and Creative Commercial Street

Hang Chen, a prominent designer from Shenzhen, China, has unveiled "Artisan Echoes," a unique cultural and creative commercial street located in Jianshui County, Yunnan Province, China. The project, which began in January 2021 and was completed in July 2021, is designed to meet the needs of both tourists visiting the Purple Pottery Industrial Park and nearby residents.

The project draws inspiration from the layered terrain, the unique technique of producing pottery, and the traditional Chinese architectural style. The layout of the buildings is based on the natural terrain, and the traditional Chinese architectural style is used to express the production scenes of pottery, creating a cultural and creative district rooted in the local area.

The design aims to refine the local architectural style, respect the original topography of the plateau, and create a unique Chinese architectural style by incorporating buildings in a scattered layout that blends in with the plateau landscape. At the same time, incorporating leisure, shopping, and entertainment functions to enhance the quality of the block, the goal is to create a flagship characteristic block that leads the way in fashionable living and provides high-end cultural experiences.

During the construction process, technical measures such as raft foundation and reinforcement of the platform retaining wall should be applied to strengthen the original topography of the site. The building cluster should be laid out in a staggered manner following the topography of the platform, while digital, parametric, prefabrication, and 3D printing technologies should be employed to achieve intelligent design and construction.

Artisan Echoes is a new urban landmark in Jianshui County, Yunnan Province, China, and has been awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in City Planning and Urban Design in 2023.
