2012 national competition project #024 | cafeteria redesign: Recent activity

This is a comprehensive solution. I like the incorporation of both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Really nice drawing. Just add a little explanation about your changes. It is a nice design.

Good use of the internet to do your research.

Nice sketch! It is great that you thought about sun and natural daylight. It is a lot more pleasant to eat in a place with good sunlight!

When you are showing these photos, it would be helpful if you talked about how this current arrangement works or doesn't work for students at lunchtime. That will help us evaluate your solutions.

It is great that you interviewed the staff of the cafeteria to see how they would like to have things changed. It would be good if you included some pictures that detail some of their complaints.

I'm a university administrator in Washington supporting college students studying architecture, landscape architecture, construction management, and urban design. I also studied architecture in college. It has been a pleasure to review your competition submission. Thanks for sharing your project with the jury.

I was very impressed with your final design board. You did a great job of incorporating all the details into one design presentation. This is an important skill that Architects use when sharing their projects with clients. They have to communicate months of thinking and planning in just a few images and drawings. Good work!

I was also encouraged by your ability to listen to the needs of the users, particularly the custodial staff. It is important to speak to all users in a space to see how you can accommodate them in new designs.

Your outdoor space renderings are very inviting. Thanks for providing a full plan of the new design, this helped me to connect to the project and understand the locations of your renderings.

I would like to know more about the outdoor space and also your plans to incorporate healthy eating and sustainability into the space. You have such a great resource in all that green space for gardening, etc.

Great work! Keep on designing and creating!

Those seem really modern, it would probally make the cafeteria seem really cool place to eat!
