BOXSCAPE is located in the scenic area of the Sansusi Forest, where it functions as a food court designed to blend in with the natural environment. The project highlights the ideas of modularity and sustainability, using lightweight boxing systems that make assembly straightforward. This design aims to optimize space while encouraging social interactions among visitors.

Project Design

The project features three types of open-sided boxes made primarily from plywood. These boxes serve several purposes: they accommodate food kiosks, seating, and storage. The choice of plywood contributes to the lightness of the structure, which eases both transportation and on-site assembly. This material aligns well with the surrounding landscape, enhancing the simplicity of the architectural expression.

Site Organization

The kiosks are carefully arranged within the boundaries of the site, creating an accessible and inviting atmosphere. The layout is designed to improve circulation, ensuring that sightlines are clear and movement between kiosks is smooth. This organization fosters a lively environment where people can easily interact and enjoy their surroundings.

Functional Elements

Within the modular boxing system, Type A, Type B, and Type C boxes have been assigned specific roles. Type A boxes act as support structures and provide vertical storage. Type B boxes serve as functional work surfaces, addressing the needs of food service operations. Type C boxes not only form walls but also offer additional storage. This setup reduces material waste and enhances the flexibility of each kiosk.

Design Integration

In the 3D design, features are carefully crafted to harmonize with the local landscape. Dining and seating areas use the same boxing concepts to create a consistent visual theme. Elements such as shaded seating and built-in planters add comfort to the spaces while promoting a connection to nature. The construction process is methodical, progressing from light excavation to careful placements, which maintains an environmentally conscious approach.

The open-sided boxes allow natural light to filter through, creating a pleasant atmosphere that connects the dining experience with the forest. This thoughtful design detail enhances the overall enjoyment of the space, making it a comfortable place to gather and relax in nature.
