ARABIAN PENINSULA COFFEE MUSEUM

DUMBO, BROOKLYN, NYC

Background

THE MUSEUM WILL SHARE THE HISTORY OF COFFEE. THEREFORE, MANY PEOPLE DON’T KNOW THE HOMELAND OF COFFEE. IT STARTED ARABIAN PENINSULA AND STARTED TRADING THROUGH THE PORT OF MOCHA IN YEMEN TODAY.

THE GOAL: GIVING AN EXPERIENCE OF DIFFERENT TASTES OF COFFEE WHILE PEOPLE ARE MOVING THROUGH THE MUSEUM. ALSO, SHOW THE HOSPITALITY OF THE ARABS STYLE.

Idea

USING ARABIAN PENINSULA STAIR FARMS TO EXPRESS IT IN ARCHITECTURE AND DIVIDE IT INTO SECTIONS OF MUSEUM.

The coffee trade reached many countries, as Yemeni merchants took it to Cairo at the beginning of the sixteenth century, then the coffee trade reached Istanbul, where the first coffeehouses were opened in 1554 AD 1450

The bean was initially drinking as a beverage in western Yemen, by the country’s mystical Sufi monks, who used it to keep awake during all-night pray
