“The  concept  that  space  can  have  a  quality  other  than  emp5ness  is  difficult  to  grasp.  When  a  buildingis  entered,  floor,  supports,  walls,  and  a  ceiling  are  seen,  all  of  which  can  be  studied  and  perhapsenjoyed,  while  the  space,  in  the  sense  that  one  is  accustomed  to  think  of  it,  is  void:  the  absence  ofmass,  filled  by  air.”

The  atrium  and  lobby  have  been  divided  into  three  spaces  by  the  central  water  feature;  each  area  is  connected  tothe  other  by  bridge  or  stairs.  The  design  concept  of  coalesce  is  shown  through  the  merging  of  Chinese  and  westerncultures,  mo5fs,  and  design.    The  furniture  and  accessories  portray  both  curved  and  straight   lines  allowing  theirforms  to  blend  in  a  cohesive  way. Drawings  produced  in  SketchUp.

For   the  café   in  The  Museum  of  Natural  Sciences   in  Raleigh,   there  will  be  common  areas   for   interac5on  withscien5sts  and  students.  Design  includes  an  informal  bar,  performance  stage,  wireless  internet,  areas  strictly  forsocial  purposes,  and  video  monitors.
