Project Year & Studio

The Fabric Dyeing Art Therapy Center is a temporary community center. Sensory touching by hand is one of the major art therapy methods. The Center provides fabric dyeing workshops for art therapy purposes while the fabric dyeing activity also offers a tactile experience of fabrics for family events in the community. The center includes a workshop area, a fabric display corridor gallery, and a courtyard for everyone to experience the power of softness.

This project is an interim strategy for activating the site that is currently used as a parking lot with an eventual plan of mix-used housing. Creating a vibrant environment by combining new structures and reusing the existing buildings, the project lends a new identity to the interim period: from a parking lot to an art therapy center.
