Restaurants should transcend mere dining; they should offer delicious food while also possessing social attributes, providing emotional value, and a distinctive spatial ambiance. We aspire for commercial spaces to embody a perpetual dynamic tension and driving force, akin to the ever-flowing water in nature. The floor is adorned with intricate, woven-like water patterns that complement the ceiling, as if the streams of nature have quietly extended indoors, guiding guests naturally along invisible paths. People are gently drawn forward and led to the dining tables, which, like being stranded on a shallow beach by the previous "water flow," create slow, quiet, and intimate spaces within the dining area. Throughout this fluid space, there are no straight lines or sharp corners, resembling the effect of squeezing a tube of red paint into flowing water, creating a dynamic gradient of varying depths. The design breaks away from the conventional
arrangement of dining tables along walls and the monotonous, rigid layout of horizontal and vertical lines. As the space flows, the arrangement and orientation of the dining tables seem to reach a balanced state driven by this social force, with each dining space forming a coherent yet relatively independent and private micro-space. The fast-moving traffic spaces and the relatively quiet, slow-paced dining areas, i.e., the "service spaces" and "served spaces," influence and interact with each other. We have utilized digital tools, such as Flocking algorithms and fluid dynamics software for dynamic particle simulations, to model pedestrian traffic behavior and social distancing. We also weigh different design options to find the optimal balance, creating a restaurant environment that is both efficient and comfortable. This simulation not only enhances functionality but also strengthens social interaction within the space, thereby elevating the overall dining experience.
