I am a high school student. I’m very passionate about architecture and design. I use this model to express the concept of my ideal future space.
This is a coffee shop. The overall outline structures adopt the imagination of the sci-fi world that I have liked since childhood. It looks like a battleship and a King Kong at the same time. The appearance lines are based on the concept of trees as forests. The shadows of the trees are swaying like the wind. Science fiction overlaps with nature, as when I grow older, I can get more design inspirations in the space I’m designing.
This is a conceptual model. I hope that in the possible future, I can actually complete this work in a certain city. When the time comes, the overall color will still be mainly black, and I hope to add green lines to make the consumers of this coffee shop to experience the fun of science fiction and nature well-balanced together.
The biggest difference between this case and an ordinary coffee shop is that it does not focus on commercial benefits and has less seating planning, so that customers in this coffee shop will not be overcrowded. They can enjoy the natural light and shadow of the sun in a bright and transparent space. Paired with a building that looks like a jungle in a city, enjoying a cup of nice newly-brewed coffee, wholesomely get the spiritual satisfaction in this environment.
The building materials I use must be environmentally friendly and energy-saving. Soon, I would like to be a qualified and excellent architect who cherishes the only earth we have, improves the environment and the land, has sustainable construction in mind and be a part of the environmental protection while designing the things I love. This is my ambition for the future and my contribution to the society.
