Ripples

University/School Savannah College of Art and Design

Lead ArchitectZhuopeng Ying

Located in Atlanta, the project aims to provide an all-day social space for the nearby LGBTQ community, a third place in addition to home and workplace. This project explores the possibilities of interior spaces to promote social interaction. Inspiration comes from ripples, when people interact socially with each other just like ripples on the surface of the water. The project uses different color combinations, contrast of materials and dynamic wall design to create a fluid and social space. Encourage users to meet new people in the bar and support them to develop deeper relationships.
