205 CARSEND RESTAURANT

PROF. BOB WARDEN

With the future of transportation slowly becoming more electric, we have asked ourselves how a rest stop would function in the future with all electric chargeable cars. Rest areas today are initially modeled after roadside parks with minimal comforts, while following a uniform design that rarely provides more than the basic amenities such as restrooms and walking areas. To gain a better understanding, our team pictured ourselves during a long drive, low on battery, and in need of a restroom, food, and a change of scenery. Through further research and development we created CarScend, an EV or (Electric Vehicle) charging rest stop that transcends the idea of an average rest stop with its sunken community design. I designed the restaurant for CarScend.

Similarly found with in my daydream
The blurred reflections on shallow water
Juxtaposing the concrete’s jarring scream
Must have come directly from the author

A place made for ridged relaxation
Where one cannot fully let go from life
A place made for ones direct fixation
On digesting their own eternal strife

I wanted to be one but I was not
Spectating without ever being more
I wanted credit but I was just naught
Nothing around everything I adore

Sadness and jealousy came as I left
What could or should have been was effed
