01 沙漠 Desert
阿塔卡马沙漠(Atacama Desert)，西班牙语作Desierto de Atacama，是南美洲西海岸中部的沙漠地区，在安第斯山脉和太平洋之间南北绵延约1000千米，总面积约为18.13万平方千米，主体位于智利境内。大洋与大山的夹峙，大气、洋流与地形因素的共同作用，使得阿塔卡马成为世界最古老和最干旱的沙漠地区之一，年降水量小于0.1mm，被称为世界的 “旱极”。
The Atacama Desert(Spanish: Desierto de Atacama) is a desert area in the middle of the west coast of South America. It covers about 1000 kilometers strip of land on the Pacific coast, west of the Andes Mountains, occupies 181300 square kilometers. The main body is located in Chile. Lie between the ocean and the mountain, the combined effects of atmosphere, ocean currents and topographical factors make Atacama one of the oldest and driest desert regions in the world and the annual precipitation is less than 0.1mm, which is known as the “dry pole” of the world.

02 捕雾 Fog Catching
因缺乏雨水，当地人从该地区植物的生存方式中得到灵感，发明了一种以网捕雾的方法，在智利中部的海滨小村里开始了「捕雾实验」。当雾穿过密网时，雾里的潮湿水汽在细小的网眼里凝结成了水滴，积攒的露水通过密网下方的水槽和输水管流向蓄水桶里，当地人以这种方式获取生命的源泉。
Due to the lack of rain, the locals took inspiration from the plants in the area and invented a method of catching fog with nets. They started a fog catching experiment in a small coastal village in central Chile. When the fog goes through the net, the mesh catches the droplets, and gravity pulls the water down through a water pipe running under the net, to a water storage. This way, local people get access to this source of life.

03 创造关系 Create relationships
创造一种彼此之间和谐的关系是在前期设计中所表达的重点，店员与店员、店员与顾客、顾客与顾客，彼此之间微妙的尺度与变化在空间中以不同的方式予以体现。
Creating a harmonious relationship between each other is the focus in the early design. The lay-out of the coffee shop accommodates all the subtle interactions between baristas, baristas and guests, and between guests in many different ways.

自由与开放是现代年轻人在生活中所展现的状态，而彼此真诚交流互动能够赋予空间场域长久的生命力，保持亲密，创造亲密。沙漠，一般意义上的不毛之地，生命以更罕有的形式存在，自然的纯净与宇宙的壮阔更加清晰。在Atacama看似荒凉的外表之下，暗藏着对生命本源的追溯。
Modern young people show freedom and openness in their lives and the genuine communication and interaction between each other give the space a long-term vitality, creating and maintaining intimacy. Desert is the extremely barren land in general sense. However, life there exist in a rarer form that make the purity of nature and the magnificence of the universe much clearer. Under Atacama’s seemingly desolate appearance, there is a hidden pursuit of the origin of life.

04 隐喻 Metaphor
如同带有温度的手冲咖啡，净水通过研磨后的咖啡粉，经过滤网的过滤后得以萃取到口感顺滑的咖啡液。
The process is very similar to making a cup of pour over coffee. Purified hot water goes through ground coffee and a paper filter to end up being a fine coffee with a smooth taste.

捕雾的方法与咖啡的萃取方式在某种维度上形成精神上的吻合，水是阿塔卡马沙漠地区人们赖以生存的生命之源，而一杯简单好喝的咖啡则是当代年轻人生活中必不可少的一部分。
The method of catching fog has spiritual resonance with coffee extraction in certain dimensions. Water is the source of life for the survival of locals living in Atacama Desert and a cup of good coffee is an indispensable part of contemporary young people’s lives as well.

「网」这种过滤捕捉工具以木丝板这种天然的材料在空间中隐喻并运用，晾干的木料刨成细长木丝，经浸渍稳定处理后形成带有网状的天然材料，给予空间亲切与舒适。

05 品牌与产品 Brand and product
Atacama被简化为一个设计字母“a”。a是字母表上的第一个字母，意味着新生，一切的开端。a也是adventure, 是沙漠里的探险，是into the wild 走向未知的旅途。a还是”ah”, 是对生命的惊奇与喜悦，是永远向往最真和最初。
Atacama is simplified to a design letter “a”. “a” is the first letter in the alphabet, meaning the very beginning of life. “a” is adventure, an adventure into the desert, into the wild and into the unknown. “a” means “ah” as well, the surprise and joy of life, always longing to be the truest and the original.
