sketch of restaurant

Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture

Project idea

The idea to create a cafe in a simplified Gothic style, a parodies, came from aesthetic views. The legacy of Gothic is very impressive. The functionality of this sketch is not complete. It can be not only a restaurant, but also any other public buildings. Many people say that it reminds the church because of some characteristic details, but in many respects there are differences.
Gothic style is a masterpiece of architecture, people of all countries recognize it. I left some elements just reminiscent of the gothic, for the easy impression for that a person who is looking at him. So that the same impression could get a person who get passing along the street, on which there were no authentic Gothic buildings.
This building is located on the outskirts of Kiev, in a place where not all people have ever seen real gothic art. This is a parody that would evoke a desire to know more, or to feel in the modern-Gothic world, when among the high-rise boxes the image of the Gothic church grows.
