Kenetic Café

Kinetic energy architecture

Hakyu Lee

Coffee on the way to work, wine on the way home. Kenetic café is for those who commute on the same boring street every day. Kinetic energy from the mechanical structure creates a different appearance of the building during the day and at night. It consists of a bolt and a nut structure, and when the nut is turned clockwise through the gear&motor, the structure rises counterclockwise. Just as people do different things during the day and night and have different moods, so will this building.

Like how syringe works, Kenetic café’s structure itself have air ventilation system by the pressure difference as it moves vertically. Kenetic café can solve the disadvantages of humidity and poor air circulation with the underground space.
