UM 2.0 Productive City : Joss Paper

CHAPTER I

Joss Paper

Joss paper is not just a craft paper, yet it is a Chinese ritual-related goods. The purpose of this paper is to forcing people to do good by reminding the people that hell is really existing. Moreover, it provides more income for the local people. There is the biggest and unique joss paper community in Thailand called Charuengchai. Even if this place is precious, it gives a sense of hiding from outside-world plus it is combining between public space and interior. Today globalization is destroying the base of this ritual and make it becomes disappear.

From these reasons, this project is purposing to bring this productive activity back and promote it from reproduce, redesign and present it in a new way on an urban scale.
