After three years of meticulous construction, the Bat Trang Ceramic Community House commenced its operations in 2021. This architectural marvel serves as a poignant testament to the rich heritage of the village, embodying a multifaceted purpose that includes showcasing the masterpieces of artisans, narrating the village's storied history, and offering insights into the diverse materials and techniques employed in the art of pottery-making. Bolstered by a substantial investment of 150 billion VND, this project is a pivotal component of "The Center for Quintessence of the Vietnamese Craft Village," a visionary initiative dedicated to advancing craft villages and preserve the venerable traditions of a pottery craft spanning more than 500 years.
Bat Trang 陶瓷社區之家歷經了三年的精心規劃與建造，在2021 年開始營運，這座建築奇蹟不僅作為該村豐富文化遺產的見證，而且還扮演多元功能的地位，包括展示工匠的作品、講述村莊的歷史故事，以及提供對陶藝製作過程使用的各種材料和技術深入了解的博物館。這個項目獲得了一千五百億越南盾的大筆投資，是「越南工藝村中心」關鍵的組成核心，實現推動並保存著這個超過500年擁有深厚文化底蘊的傳統村莊與計畫。
其地理位置於村莊入口處極為優越，毗鄰與紅河接軌的北興海運河，在村莊規劃中發揮著舉足輕重的關鍵角色。其設計細緻地控制了建築的密度和高度，營造和諧的比例和廣闊的全景視野。此建築結構有助於提升運河的景觀，同時也為古老的陶瓷市場恢復活絡的繁華生機。
Situated strategically at the village's entrance, adjacent to the Bac Hung Hai canal that seamlessly connects to the Red River, the Bat Trang Ceramic Community House assumes a pivotal role in village planning. Its architectural design meticulously regulates construction density and height, fostering harmonious proportions and panoramic vistas. The structure contributes significantly to enhancing the canal landscape while reviving the vibrant ambiance of the ancient pottery market that once animated its surroundings.
這座從藝術作陶中而獲得靈感的五層樓多功能綜合建築，其形態呼應了七個陶藝轉盤錯綜複雜的層疊作用。而這些轉盤令人聯想起工匠熟練塑形黏土的意象，創造了引人入勝的視覺效果，其中混凝土結構優雅地融入階梯式的陶瓷建築。這種獨特的設計不僅吸引了觀眾的目光，同時美化也增強了空間的功能性。
This five-storeys multi-functional complex takes inspiration from the artistry of ceramic production, with its architectural form mirroring the intricate interplay of seven pottery turntables. These turntables evoke the image of a skilled artisan molding clay, producing a visually captivating result where concrete frames gracefully fold into stepped ceramics display shelves. This distinctive design not only captivates the observer but also optimizes the functionality of the space.
底層規劃一個開放區域，由七個交疊的圓頂界定，為公共活動提供了多功能的活動空間。其中頂部天窗設置，巧妙的引入自然採光，同時創造了使熱空氣上升，有效地使空氣達到對流循環的環境。
The ground floor features an open area, defined by the seven interlocking domes, providing a versatile space for public events. Skylights strategically positioned atop the structure facilitate natural daylighting, creating an environment where hot air efficiently rises, promoting cooling throughout the space.
為了呼應陶藝村田園般詩意的質樸本質，該建築外觀主要以粗糙陶瓷特有的紅棕色呈現。透過使用纖維增強混凝土、輕質的材料來實現這個高層建築。此外，為了更深入地融合Bat Trang 陶瓷的精髓，建築中融入了土磚、馬賽克陶瓷和陶瓷瓦片，強調了對使用工藝村內在材料的尊重與承諾。
In a deliberate nod to the rustic and idyllic essence of the pottery village, the exterior of the building predominantly showcases the reddish-brown hue characteristic of rough ceramics. This visual theme is achieved through the use of fiber-reinforced concrete, a lightweight material conducive to upward expansion and easily manageable by local builders. Further integrating the essence of Bat Trang, the building incorporates earthen bricks, mosaic ceramics, and pottery tiles, emphasizing a commitment to utilizing materials intrinsic to the craft village.
從本質上來看，Bat Trang 陶瓷社區之家不僅是建築創新的象徵，也是對 Bat Trang 工藝村這個古老的傳統致敬，為後代子孫保留其文化遺產。
In essence, the Bat Trang Ceramic Community House stands not only as a symbol of architectural ingenuity but also as a living tribute to the enduring legacy of the Bat Trang craft village, preserving its cultural heritage for generations to come.
