Concept

Ever wonder what it would be like to disappear?

well, you don't have to wonder anymore.

The Pop-Up Restaurant aims to give the user a once in a lifetime experience by disappearing and appearing in another city.

It also aims to enhance the Egyptian cuisine.

So we can Teleport, now the restaurant at Alexandria, then “now” it is at Luxor. No time passed, just the mass & quantum were transferred with infinite precision from one point to another.

Keywords: Teleportation - 3D Printing - Thermo electric Generators
Natural Fiber Reinforced polymer composite - Fog Nets.

Main Idea

The restaurant is designed to be a local pop up restaurant that disappear and travel through seven different cities in Egypt. The main idea of the pop up that it has no definite time to appear in, you’ll be notified once it appears. The main objective of this project is to make the user live the whole experience of each city starting from traveling from city to city, eating their traditional food and sit in front of each view that represent that city.

Design Strategy " Technology "

"3d Printing" Additive manufacturing technique using straw composite material used in printing the main structure of the building & the hydroponic towers structure. Also using 3d printing in food process.

Laser Rays" It’s a full beam of laser light that exerts force throughout the photophoretic effect to control and transfer objects from one place to another. This technology used in serving food.

"Robotic Kitchen" Is a fully automated kitchen unit consists of cabinets and robotic arms. It has a recording system connected to GUI screen with access to library of recipes and a full set of kitchen appliances that have been optimized for both use of robots and human.

Design Strategy "Energy"

"Wearable thermoelectric generators" by using thermoelectric generators that could be placed on the restaurant seats, we can convert human thermal energy released into useable electricity.

"Magnetic Seats" The soft floating upper part of the seats is supported by the magnetic force generated by the bottom base.

"Energy generating roadway" The energy generated from both the pressure energy & the kinetic energy released from the people movement on the floors could be converted into electricity.

"Spoons & Forks" Spoons & Forks movement during eating food could be converted into electricity by connecting them to an electronic system on the restaurant tables.

Design Strategy "Sustainability "

"Algae Bottles" These bottles are presented as innovative alternative solution to the classic plastic bottles.

"Fog Nets" Fog catchers catch around 100 liters of clean water daily. The amount of water depends on density of the fog, wind speed & wind direction.

"Hydroponic Towers" It’s a tube connected to a small water reservoir at the bottom of the tower. It can grow up to 30% more food, 3 times faster, while saving up to 90% more space and water compared to traditional growing methods.

"Turning leftovers to Fertilizers" This technique done by putting the leftovers in a specified machine that use red wiggler worms & some chemicals to accelerate the breakdown of food waste into valuable soil fertilizers.

"Smoke Condensation" Absorption of the smoke that released through food cooking process, condense it and turn it to clean water.
