| REA [REACTIVE ARCHITECTURE] | |
Concept
The concept of REA is a machine that have the capacity to give customers in a bar a unique experience. The most important goal of REA is to entertain the customers in the bar. This is accomplished through a intriguing translation device. Rather than ordering from the waitress, you choose your drink by interacting with an electronic interface. Instead of the waitress taking the order to the bar, your order is physically carried to the bar by moving tiles through the wall and ceiling.
Two videos was made in order to present the project. The project video aimed at presenting the experience and design solution (7 MB MPEG movie). The process video (20 MB MPEG movie) was necessary to explain out process which in this project was as important as the result itself.
