Student Hub
“The Rebirth Of Individuality In A Reformed Cooperation” A weekly pop-up café, in a study/work lounge, that is equipped with many electric outlets and different seating arrangement. A space that caters as a creative hub, with open spaces and minimal defined individual zones. High ceiling, wide visual extensions, encourages social interactions that would act as a networking platform for creative producers, and artists. The design elements are materials in their raw form, representing a fresh canvas to be altered and reformed by creativity and individuality
Creativity is allowing oneself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. - Scott Adams, The Dilbert Principle
