Architecture and Interior










Many architectural and interior designs in Jingdezhen have combined tradition and modernity very well. For example, the architecture of Taoxichuan (one of the biggest market places in Jingdezhen) was inspired by traditional kilns, and the entire market was transformed from a kiln factory. The interior of a coffee shop also combines some modern lighting with traditional cross-legged seats and low coffee tables. I think it is very important to develop new things while inheriting the past.
Exhibition in Taoxichuan








Market in Taoxichuan











There is an exhibition in the market, and I like the shapes of the works there more. I was impressed by the work of an Indian artist, Ajaysingh Bhadoriya, who made traditional Chinese doors and windows into wall-mounted sculptures. I visited his personal website and found that his series of works also includes traditional Indian doors and windows. It is also very interesting to reduce the size of buildings or other things and turn them into things with other functions. For example, Vitra sells reduced-size chairs, and some people use them as mobile phone holders.
