"The project site is close to a famous ancient relicthe Xing Kiln Ruins. Dating back over 1,500 years, these kiln remnants have lost much of their architectural detail to the passage of time, yet the layout of the kilns remains vividly clear. The most typical arrangement features several kiln chambers arranged in a horseshoe shape, semi-enclosing a small courtyard, allowing a single craftsman to oversee multiple chambers simultaneously."

The project site sits adjacent to the Xing Kiln Ruins, kiln remnants that date back over 1,500 years. Many original architectural details have eroded, but the spatial organization of the kilns remains legible. The typical kiln arrangement forms a horseshoe of multiple chambers that semi-enclose a small courtyard. That compact courtyard configuration enabled a single craftsman to monitor and manage several firing chambers simultaneously. The surviving kiln patterns inform an understanding of efficient, craft-centered layouts and suggest spatial strategies that prioritize simultaneous oversight and close proximity between workspace and firing chambers.
