Fan Workshop of Jing Fan Beijing
Design Director｜Lee Hsuheng
This project is located on Qianmen Street, one of Beijing’s most historic hutong districts. In recent years, the area has undergone revitalization, transforming into a dynamic commercial zone that blends the old with the new. Situated at the southern end of Dashilan, the workshop faces a lively pedestrian street, where visitors from around the world have become an integral part of the scene.
The Fan Workshop is dedicated to promoting Chinese fan culture. The ground floor is designed as a small retail space, while the second floor hosts a fan-making workshop and a public education area, offering visitors the chance to engage firsthand with traditional craftsmanship. The basement serves as a production and hands-on learning space, supporting both daily operations and cultural outreach activities.
The *tuánshàn* (round fan), also known as *wànshàn*, is a traditional Chinese invention later introduced to Japan. Conversely, the folding fan originated in Japan and was later brought to China. The exchange of fan culture between China and Japan has enriched everyday life and remains a fascinating chapter in their shared history. The spatial design of the workshop draws inspiration from this cultural interaction.
Architecturally, the design references the strip-shaped partitions commonly found in Japanese buildings. These dense, linear elements reflect the essence of Japanese aesthetics and evoke the artistic language of *ukiyo-e* prints. Notably, Utagawa Hiroshige’s *One Hundred Famous Views of Edo* features the iconic *Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi Bridge and Atake*, capturing fleeting moments of nature and the reactions of passersby. The technique of portraying summer rain with intricate lines was later famously replicated by Post-Impressionist master Van Gogh, offering a unique expression distinct from both Western oil painting and traditional Chinese ink art.
Design Director Lee Hsuheng states:
“We introduced Japanese-style linear aesthetics into a traditional Chinese building in Qianmen, aiming to create a dialogue and fusion between Chinese and Japanese cultures within the space. Other elements return to functionality, with terrazzo floor tiles paired with white latex-painted walls, interspersed with practical tool and material cabinets, echoing the fan’s own qualities of elegance, simplicity, and practicality.”
