Inspiration & Concept

The inspiration is from my making drinks process, I was attracted on various moments during observing different ingredients mixing and form a series of liquid motions, then summarized the process in three main conditions: static, mixing and remnants. For corresponding three conditions, I planned to link exposition, climax and denouement that is the main plots in narrative structure, which could form a narrative through our interaction with drinks, and considered more on based each step actions to link some activities that make the train bar form multiple functions.

Act 1 space combining with the static glass condition, which is the beginning of our action that add ice cubes. At that time, as there are no other ingredients added in, the whole glass is present in a pure and transparent form. It seems like the thing in here is in gestation, waiting for next grow up by we interact more.

Act 2 space corresponding to the mixed moments, which is the climax in narrative, is the moment the story of conflict peaks, that is the action of pouring the liquid into another, it is the most exciting moments to see two ingredients mix. Both are rising actions with an active emotion, this space is the main part and plan to make it more exaggerated and marvelous that distinct than other spaces.

Act 3 space linking with remnants condition, set in the end of narrative, is after the climax, during a falling action and finally arrive to the denouement. Both are a calm down emotion and the glass condition will gradually return to the static condition, its style similar to the act one space, while the difference is inside having some color represent the remnants.
