This project focuses on carbon products, the consumer products made from captured CO2.

The building is a combination of a market selling various carbon products and a small-scale factory demonstrating the whole manufacturing process for a carbon-based product. The market sells many kinds of products to show the public what can be made from CO2, while the factory focuses specially on carbonated beverages, to show how CO2 can be utilized and transformed into beverages. The tour begins on the ground level and takes vistiors to the top floor by elevator. By circulating down through the factory, enjoying a carbonated beverage on the street-level public bar, and shopping in the market stalls that extend out on the site, visitors can learn about carbon management.
