The production zone would host classes in addition to workshops where handicraft would be thought and production would be made we won’t be introducing anything new in terms of production were these handcrafts are always present and in production in households so these workshops would have the role of organizing these handcrafts. The main exhibition is an interactive exhibition were one could see and participate in the production of silk threads the old way where we would also have a machinery exhibition of the time of the 19th century. In addition to the above this zone would also host a lab where research would be done on these silk threads in addition to research on biological design The interactive promenade is made of pavilions each pavilion host its own exhibition and would have an interior character representing a city on the Silk Road.
