Three iterations were created to be put on site, I wanted something that would have a large window to watch an open area while dining inside for a view. Each one would be placed in back corner of site to maximize space. I narrowed in on the seafood theme because it had interested me the most due the sheer amount of endless possibilities if looked closely at the fish and its features.
First design began with taking features from a fish. The roof was based on how a fish's slopes downwards then wide's back out near fins. This same principal I tried to recreate in the roof almost as a check mark.
Kitchen service area is pushed towards the back so workers don't disruipt any customers in their movements.
There are numerous sitting areas inside that are postioned to have a great viewing area from their tables.

The outdoor sitting area was created to give more options to customers while giving them optimal shading with the large overhanging roof so they will stay cool.
The whole shape of the building is inspired by features of fishes and so that occupiants can experince what they eat as a building.

My research has led to me different weaving styles with higher performance/ efficiency differences depending on the diameter of pore openings. By having a tighter knit weave allows water molecules from fog to form and collauge quicker compared to older designs. The chosen design still has to be affordable and easily replaceable if high wind rips the mesh.
Water particles are caried by wind driven fog
Mesh captures fog droplets
Droplets condense into larger droplets that drain onto mesh
Water Collection and storage
By using traditional textile patterns we can transform a boring fog harvester panel into a beautiful woven panel that introduces colors and relates culturally to the locals of Peru.
Using raschel mesh and implementing on existing fog harvester design, I transformed the mesh panel into a elevated walkway that based on my research uses 2 stacked mesh panels stretched over a light frame structure in order to support mesh through strong wind currents, while also making it easy to replace damage mesh.
Some of the leftover water can be giving to the community which is in dire need of water. Some of the people walk 3 hours to the nearst watering well. This location is in a center spot of 2 dense areas which can vastly help the people. Using gravity from top of mountain we can carry the water using tubes to lead to a filration center which then pumps clean fresh water.
