After 3 years of construction, Bat Trang Ceramic Community House has been put into operation in 2021. The purpose of the building is to showcase artisans’ works, retell the history of the village, and introduce the different materials and techniques used in pottery-making. With a total investment of 150 billion VND, the project is part of "The Center for Quintessence of the Vietnamese craft village” with the intention of developing craft villages and preserving the traditions of pottery craft more than 500 years old.

Bat Trang 陶瓷社區住宅再經過了三年的建設後，於 2021 年正式啟用。該案是「越南工藝村精髓中心計畫」的一部分，總斥資 1500 億越南盾，目的是在展示當地工匠作品的同時，重述村莊的歷史，並介紹陶藝工藝中所運用到的不同材料和技術，使這份已包存 500 年的技術能夠持續傳承。

Bat Trang Ceramic Community House plays an important role in village planning. It is located at the gateway to welcome tourists, facing the Bac Hung Hai canal and connecting to the Red River. The building form is carefully considered to control construction density and height, create harmonious proportions and views, improve the canal landscape, and recreate the hustling and bustling scene of the canal’s ancient pottery market.

此社區住宅作為村莊的門戶，面向北興海運河，與紅河相連。建築形式經過精心考慮，特地控制密度和高度，創造出和諧的比例和景觀，幫助改善運河景觀，使本地再現過去運河古陶市熙熙攘攘的景象。

This five-storeys multi-functional complex takes inspiration from the artistry of ceramic production, with its architectural form mirroring the seven interlocking turntables, evoking the image of a ceramic artisan molding clay into overlapping curves that tend to expand gradually. This idea produces a visually captivating result where concrete frames folded into steps, optimizes the functionality of the space, function as display shelves or staircase between floors. From another perspective, the project is reminiscent of the image of Bat Trang's antique gourd furnace.

The open area of the 1st floor is created between these seven upside-down domes for public events. Skylights at the top allow for natural daylighting and cooling of the area, enabling hot air to flow upward.

設計靈感來自於陶瓷工藝，以多層次的外觀以及相連的建築形式，如同將七座轉盤相扣一般，讓人想起陶瓷工匠將陶土塑造擴展的重疊曲線形象，呈現出獨特且迷人的視覺。將混凝土框架折疊成台階，更優化了空間功能，可充當展示架或樓層間的樓梯。從另一個角度看，也讓人想起了Bat Trang的古董葫蘆爐形象。

一樓的開放區域在倒置的圓頂之間創建，用於公共活動。頂部的天窗引進自然採光外，更使熱空氣得以向上流動，幫助冷卻該區。

In order to emphasize the rustic and idyllic characteristics of the pottery village, the reddish-brown color of rough ceramics is the main theme. The striking form of the building is cladded with fiber-reinforced concrete, which is light enough to be expanded upwards and easy to construct for the local builders. In addition, earthen bricks, mosaic ceramic, and pottery tiles are used throughout the building, making good use of materials that are characteristic of the Bat Trang craft village.

為強調陶村的質樸與田園特色，建築外觀選擇以粗陶的紅褐色為主色調。使用纖維增強混凝土覆蓋，重量較輕且可以向上擴展，並且易於當地建造。此外，整棟建築也使用了土磚、馬賽克陶瓷和陶磚，充分利用了 Bat Trang 工藝村的特色材料。

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.

Bat Trang 陶瓷社區住宅不僅是獨創性建築的象徵，也是對 Bat Trang 工藝村不朽遺產的深深致敬，為後代人民保留該區珍貴的文化遺產。
