Appreciations towards Whatever Design Office (contact: whateverdesign@yeah.net) for providing the following description:
寻遍整个重庆山城，穿过市井的老街，勉强设计事务所合伙人第一次遇见在本地也鲜有人知的神仙洞。与此中轴对称的老厂空间突然出现在面前，略带神秘感的场地环境和厂房曾经劳作留下的印记，几乎一秒定下，就是在这里了建立工作空间。
Looking around the whole mountain of Chongqing, and going through the marketing old streets of the city, the partners of Whatever Art Space met the fairy cave for the first time which is even rarely known locally. An old factory space, symmetry with the axis, suddenly appeared, the mysterious site environment with the imprint left by the former work of the factory. Almost in one second, it was set to be our design office.

改建过程 | Reconstruction Process
重庆印制一厂始建于上世纪60-80年代，距今已停止生产30年。在这处隐匿于市的空间中，勉强设计希望建立一种新的工作方式，创造一个连接的空间。这里不仅是我们工作室，也是灵感的隧洞，亦是交流的容器。

The Chongqing Printing 1st Factory was built during 1960s and 1980s, and has stopped production for 30 years. In this hidden space of the city, Whatever Design hopes to establish a new way of working and create a connected space. It is not only our office, but also the tunnel of inspiration, and the container of communication as well.

勉强艺术空间很自然地成为了重庆印制一厂的公共空间，在这里举办艺术展示及公共活动，在空间中设置影像装置，友好的连接了大众与艺术。
Whatever Art Space has naturally become the public space of the Chongqing Printing 1st Factory. It hosts art exhibitions and public events, installs video devices in the space, and connects the public and art in a friendly way.

利用厂房空间的层高，内部设计了一个坡度的斜面，展示与互动共存，同时让隧洞兼备了入口、展示、储物的多重功能。
Based on the floor height of the factory space, the interior is designed with a slope to show and interact both existing, which also makes the tunnel have multiple functions of entrance, display and storage.

勉强设计决定用老厂外立面使用的本土红砖来建造室内，作为老厂向内的再次生长。选择铺设比例最低的烧结侧面作为第一素材。每一块红砖因为在窑位置的不同，侧面呈现出独一无二的叠压痕迹与色彩。淘汰成色过于暗黑的，从三万块成砖里亲手挑选出一万块。
Whatever Design office decided to build the interior with the local red bricks used in the exterior facade of the old factory, as a growth of the old factory inward. The sintering side with the lowest paving proportion was selected as the first material. Each piece of red brick presents a unique overlying traces and colors on the side due to the different positions in the cave. Weeding out bricks with dark color, we in person picked out 10,000 pieces from the 30,000 pieces red bricks.

在勉强的视觉设计方面，抛开了设计最常用的电脑，用手折纸的方式叠出了整套视觉系统。一如老厂遗留的手写体一般，亲手制作的独特痕迹才是心中“勉强”的样子。勉强设计相信有趣的特质存在于不稳定的尝试与冒险之中，而不在固定的模式之中。
In terms of visual design, we abandoned the most commonly used computer and made use of hand origami to overlie the entire vision system. Just like the handwriting left by the old factory, the unique traces made by hand are exactly “Whatever” look in the heart. Whatever Design believes that interesting peculiarity exists in unstable attempts and adventures, rather than fixed patterns.

神仙洞-勉强设计办公空间-勉强艺术空间成为一条中轴线，创造一个新的工作方式并作为一个新的容器将艺术与设计放入其中。
The Fairy cave, Whatever Design office space and Whatever Art Space- become a central axis, creating a new way of working and putting art and design into it as a new container.
