I observed the public space near east liberty and shady side. I felt the street is too desolate and cold. People do not talk, just use their smartphone or listen to music, indifferent to others. So I put the fireplace to the public space. Firstly, I would like to bring the warmth to public space. The fireplace reminds me family, warm hands, grandparents and I hope people who see this fireplace share those warm images and feelings together. Secondly, I would like to dispose the contrast between the outside’s frozen snow and inside’s warmth from the fireplace.
