A F T E R TA S T E 2 0 1 5 R E C E P T I O N Event Design \\ MFA Interior Design All-Student Collaboration Led by Helen Quinn Lighting Design Partners \\ Kiersten Hill & Odile Liu In recent years, we, as humans, have exploited earth, depleting its resources with blatant disregard for what this means for future generations. At some point, when we have gone too far, we will try desperately to regain a connection with nature, with this earth that we call home.

Here, in this AfterTaste world, we imagine a future in which nature is elevated, nature is levitated, nature is puppeteered in a dire attempt to regain a connection with it.

Two activity centers act as energy centers to disperse and reconnect using lines inscribed into the architecture to create perceptual imaginary planes. Composed of strings, these planes direct the flow of circulation and guide occupants to engage in different tasks and activities.
