Atelier SUPERB: Spatial Design
MAKEPRO is an exhibition designed for the industrial and manufacturing sector of the annual event: Taiwan Design Expo’22 in Kaohsiung, the second largest city in Taiwan. It was to celebrate the growth of the renowned industrial city of Taiwan. Since the 1900s, the city implemented and accumulated a broad spectrum of industrial manufacturing technologies such as heavy industry, raw material, energy, electronics and more recently, the digitals. People may use these products daily but were never aware of how they were made, nor how they relate to society. Manufacturing is often stereotyped as a rough and polluting industry. We aim to condense and authentically recreate the behind-the-scenes experience inside various manufacturing factories. Through the fabrication of this ManufactureScape, scale, texture, and process videos are put together to reveal to the viewers how the industry had transformed and improved over the years.
The exhibition hall is located at No.7, Pier-2 Warehouse next to the viaduct, a coherent zigzagged circulation allowed the visitors to stroll freely within the orthogonal structural grid. The fluidity of the space engages the existing building to become a part of the exhibition. The sense of weight and the immense scale of Kaohsiung's manufacturing industry are critical experiences we want to bring to viewers. During the design stage, the most spectacular moments for us were when walking inside the super-scale factories, standing next to mountains of industrial raw materials or semi-finished products stacked on the side. These everyday scenes workers are accustomed to are difficult for us to see elsewhere. Therefore, we reconstructed the scenes carefully, for the visitors to have a similar first-hand experience.
Various types of scraps and leftovers from the local metal manufacturing industry were collected, such as iron filings, iron blocks, refractory ceramic balls, steel sections, and larger containers that carry industrial products like paint buckets and boat-shaped boxes. They were then organized and stacked to portray an undulating material landscape. Clusters of exhibition stands formed archipelagos that scatter and float in the space. Under the spotlights, details and texture of the rugged material were revealed and presented to the viewers. Visitors enter through a compressed entrance space and then wander amongst the metal mountains, experiencing the philosophy of "smart" manufacturing industries through raw materials, products, and the culture of livelihood. Altogether they display the unique charm of the Kaohsiung manufacturing industry, with senses of heaviness, sound and scent.
Linking the past and making new grounds for the future, accumulated, and engraved in history, to not be forgotten. The sedimented ManufactuerScape is a living bibliography of a growing industrial city that continues to be inscribed in generations of our memories.
