KITSUNE RHAPSODY

A FANTASY ABOUT THE KITSUNE SHRINE IN KYOTO

KITSUNE RHAPSODY IS A NARRATIVE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PROJECT WHICH FOCUSES ON TRANSFORMING AN UNCOMPETITIVE SUSHI RESTAURANT INTO A KITSUNE SHRINE WITH A MULTIPURPOSE, RECYCLED ENERGY SYSTEM, AND ALSO AIMS TO INCREASE LOCAL AWARENESS OF THE KITSUNE’S FAITH. IT IS A DREAMING COMMUNITY ABOUT JAPANESE KITSUNE TRADITIONAL CULTURE AND MERGES WITH TECHNOLOGY AND RELIGION PERFECTLY.

This project aims to create a self-sustaining circulatory system for the kitsune restaurant. So the flow chart clearly show that the rice and oil to make Sushi come from their own farmland, and the oil can be used as energy to generate the ceramic factory and the sky lanterns too.
