Porcelain Studios Plugin Revival / People's Architecture Office + Liu Kecheng Design Studio

closed

Text description provided by the architects.Porcelain Studios Plugin Revival is the latest effort by People's Architecture Office to transform Jingdezhen's Imperial Kiln Historic District through the strategic insertion of prefabricated structures into existing historic buildings. Using their Plugin Architecture approach, PAO reactivates disused porcelain studios as living and working spaces that address contemporary needs while preserving the character of the original fabric. In contrast to an adjacent phase centered on civic-scale landmarks, this chapter turns inward, engaging the finer grain of historic courtyards and timber-framed workshops that once formed the everyday infrastructure of porcelain production.
