Submission #252 | Rei Celo: Two Worlds — The concept of these two worlds came as a result of a series of charcoal drawings that show the process and rituals of tea preparation. Looking at these drawings there are two states that were always present throughout the process, the condensation and the liquid state. This made me think of two different "worlds" that ended up as two different programs/architectural spaces in my project.
