Infinity
The charging station is design for a future as more electric vehicle are becoming popular in nepalese people. So, the initial idea was to have futursitic design which looks different from a surrounding building.With all the surrounding building being rectilinear form, the first step was to go with curvilinear design. To promote electric vehicles or in other words to promote the use of renewable sources for the longterm,the form was developed from an infinity shape which represents the infinite energy(electricity) one can get from the sun.
The key of the design concept was to go far beyond its built borders and integrate into the communityserving not only as a charging station but as a public space too. As in design, the ground floor serves different amenities and open spaces whereas the first floor serves as the park.
