RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Through the investigation and interview, information about Wuhan regional cultural characteristics, catering consumption habits and aesthetic preferences is collected by using Internet and other technology methods. On the basis of accurate regional people's consumption characteristics, the innovative space design realizes the fusion of brand and consumer culture ,improves the cognitive acceptance of brand and provides people with a leisure space to understand and experience exotic food.
CHALLENGE: The Greek culture is colorful, but it is not easy to find and conceive the materials needed to create the artistic conception, and it is also difficult to conduct spatial interpretation. On the other hand, cultural differences may pose a certain challenge for designer to pursue that the Greek-themed catering space can be widely recognized and loved.
