The powerful, but transitory Revolution of the Black water, coffee
Today, coffee, which has similar name in countries all over the world, is the second largest products following oil. However it is a noticeable thing that coffee emitted the more powerful energy to the society in anther period, around the 17th and the 18th century.
‘Coffee and the culture of coffee’ was a religious idea of Islam and was introduced to the people through the house of coffee in the Middle East. It later traveled to the European continent. Finally, it was placed in the coffee house, which functioned as the foundation of the early modern society. It joined the banner of ‘Liberty’, Equality’, and ‘Fraternity’ at the translated form of Café in France, and it intervened in the policy of the imperialism of Europe, such as monoculture by the colonialism and slaver trade, moreover it yielded the Fascism in Germany.
Unfortunately the energetic relationship between coffee house and social landscape has declined and simplified. As a result, the current coffee house, like ‘Starbucks’, has very few remains for the old coffee house.

Organic coffee house to interact with social landscape
The coffee house in the early modern society was booming in England. The English coffee house was incredibly popular, and it provided a place for the modern society to grow, in other words, it had an organic relationship with social and cultural landscape of England. Although it has disappeared, the English coffee house still has value to show the way forward to interaction between architecture and the future landscape.
I want to represent the English coffee house to be the new organic building, which accept the new needs of the society; which interact with the changing social landscape.
