School of Slow Clothing Part 1 Project 2021 Yiran Sun University of Nottingham Ningbo | China With the rapid urbanisation, lifestyles and urban spaces are increasingly commodified to serve consumerism and capital in China. Taking up one of the basic human needs, i.e. clothing, my design project proposed a pioneer urban slow clothing learning center for the promotion of slow life and clothing in China, making full use of the long history of traditional Chinese clothing and, handicraft way and sustainable fabric materials merging with technology to extend the life of clothes and induce less consumption.My project uses a strategy of street architecture to create a building within internal street-like spaces and environment, and at the same time, the building spaces merge with the proposed neighbouring walking streets connecting the historic Qing'an Hall to the Old Bund, simulating a track tracing the past to the present of Ningbo's local identity.The school promotes informal learning activities and spaces where spontaneous learning and teaching could happen in a street-market and everyday life environment. Therefore, many open and interactive learning spaces are created for generating knowledge exchanging in a street-like environment, emulating the old history of Chinese traditional street-market as a form of bottom-up urbanism, and living style which represents the larger population in China rather than the elites.
