LEL DESIGN STUDIO

Yongchun Vinegar Sightseeing Factory

Overall design: aging in local conditions, innovation in inheritance.

Terrier * is the general name of a local unique natural environment (including land, mountains, rivers, climate, products, etc.) and people's customs and habits. Whether it can express local customs is, to some extent, the standard of whether the food is good. Yongchun has a unique natural environment suitable for brewing vinegar. It has good air and water quality. It also has the ancient technology of vinegar making and the tradition of every family brewing vinegar.

In the overall design, we hope to create a park, so that visitors can fully experience the brewing of other red vinegar in the unique natural environment of Yongchun, and deeply experience the charm of brewing. At the same time, it is also hoped that visitors can experience the innovation of other vinegars of Yongchunhong in the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage, and perceive the combination of technology and craftsmanship. 

In the overall layout, an open space with a clear view was reserved at the main entrance, which served as the place for the aging and display of other red vinegar - Gufa Vintage Plaza, and the corresponding building volume was intensively integrated into the east of the site. In this way, the remote mountains and river scenery are introduced to the ancient France aging square, forming a perfect place.


Organic integration of moving line.

Through close cooperation with process engineers, through comparison and selection of various layouts and deduction, the production and sightseeing lines have been effectively integrated under extremely tight land use. They are independent, do not interfere with each other, and are organically linked.

In the ancient method tour line in the front section of the park, the natural granite wall runs through the park, creating a pure and simple atmosphere, limiting the audience's sight, and enhancing the audience's perception of the natural and simple characteristics of red and other vinegar.

The ancient method workshop, which shows the whole process of traditional brewing process of Yongchun red vinegar, is the most important node of the sightseeing line. Here, visitors can further feel the inheritance and innovation of red vinegar culture.
