As a space designer, I hope my designs can satisfy people's visual stimulation and give people a thought-provoking experience. In this project, I focus on how to address the issue of dietary diversity in the future after the development of human society has caused damage to the environment. In the future, the problem of environmental degradation is bound to greatly reduce the diversity of human diets. The project allows people to reflect on the importance of environmental protection while giving people the opportunity to taste food that has disappeared.

Disappearing Taste

The development of human society will inevitably have an irreversible impact on nature. Under this influence, many plants and animals are at risk of extinction. In the future, people will eat less and less organic and native food, the project questions how will humans retain their taste buds' memory of food in the future? Disappearing Taste gives humans a taste of what no longer exists through an apparatus and dining experience in the future.

Apparatus

Different foods are dried and ground into powder for preservation. When people want to taste a certain ingredient or several foods, they can attach a glass tube with the food powder to the apparatus. The apparatus mixes and heats the powders of these ingredients and moves it into people's mouths.

Food Exhibition

People can choose the food they want to taste from the food exhibition, taking the corresponding glass tube and connecting it to the apparatus.
