DFA Design for Asia Awards 2019 l Bronze Award l Environmental Design ▪ Retail and Showroom Spaces
BETTER WITH AGE
The design explores the tension between nature and urban environments. The space occupies a corner site in a tranquil street and draws inspiration from the ubiquitous ceramic tiles seen on the city’s storefronts and building facade. These dominating ceramic tiles define the city as rigid, durable and unchangeable, but instead, the design embraces the peculiarities, cracks and imperfections that develop over time to create a record of a changing environment. A handful of surfaces have been left exposed to reveal the mortar works beneath the tiles; while the local plant is a live trace when they climb on them.
