| DESIGN NAME: Celestone
 
 PRIMARY FUNCTION:
 Exhibition Center
 
 INSPIRATION:
 The idea came from the belief that as the world goes digital, nature should be included in this transformation. At this point, some elements of nature were used to make digital exhibition spaces feel more natural.
 
 UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
 Inspired by various rock and stone forms found in nature, wall textures and seating areas were created. The idea that gives the pendant lamps their shape is the crystalline structures found in mines. The pink tree used in the space was used as a reflection of all colors, considering its compatibility with the concept.
 
 OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
 It is an exhibition space designed mainly for the exhibition of digital arts. The exhibition screen also continues in the cafe area. In this way, people can enjoy the exhibition while having a drink or sitting with their friends. The concrete seating elements in the exhibition area allow a large number of people to watch the performances together.
