This infill is a gallery, work, and living space between a calligrapher and a concrete artist.

The process of Chinese calligraphy contributes towards both the aesthetical appeal and literary interpretation. Artists spend years copying and perfecting strokes from predecessor artists, and study various literature to draw inspiration from; they prefer to work in a peaceful environment with a clean, minimal workspace and plenty of natural lighting.

The ideal workspace for someone who works with concrete would be a workshop environment that is not as delicate or clean as a calligrapher’s. While lighting is important for work, artificial lights would be preferred since it is more stable than natural. However, natural lighting would still play a role since ventilation is important. There will be large tools involved with the working space, so there will be areas for such needs.

This iteration of the project singles out the similarities between the two craftsmen. They share the same misconceptions for being strict and rigid. However, both have the potential for free-flowing and insightful works. Both can adhere to boundaries for practical uses, but they can also turn into something subliminal.
