The Manual Land
The white bay power station project -
It is created as a craftsmanship centre, a 'land' for artisans and commemorates WBPS histories and their intentional preservation purposes.
Enlarging a problem is to optimise it better. Manual land is a centralised place to magnify the craft industry in Sydney, zoom in on the heritable importance of human-made creation and embody the crucial connection of adaptive reuse architecture at the white bay power station. There are many things in common between the handicraft industry and WBPS. By visiting the site, you can see the footprint of the power station through any place. Through the staggered orderly interleaving between the intangible and the tangible, the illusion is of what the original site is, but sometimes will "wake up" by seeing all art installations and new insertions, realised this is new. Overall, the project seems empty and conceptual from a distance, but when you take an extra careful look, it is just as subtle as a piece of hand-made furniture, such as stools, bench, loose furniture, decor furnishings, as well as each light piece. Space creates asymmetric and uneven proportion elements, but textured, solid and bold without polishing or precise mechanical adjustments are its intentions.
