2012 national competition project #031 | cafeteria redesign
This is a rendering of my Revit model of the improved cafeteria. I have hidden the roof here, so that you can see into the cafeteria. The rendering shows an overview of the whole cafeteria, including outside and inside eating areas. You can also see the quiet study room and the kitchen, as well as the second floor. I like this view because you can see the large windows between the inside and outside eating areas very well; these windows help to make the cafeteria sustainable because they provide good lighting for the inside of the cafeteria, so less electrical lighting is needed.
Comments
Overall, this student has great skill with Revit! Nice renderings and the overall design is sensible. I also like how the student placed healthy foods at the front of the food service area to encourage healthier eating, good thinking!
In one of the other final design images I commented to eliminate the wall that currently separates the kitchen from the eating area. I think that wall is problematic with its openings for students to pass through and it sounded like from the student's research, that other students found that existing space problematic as well. So I suggest the student designer eliminate that wall. That would open up the space a lot. My other suggestion is to incorporate windows into the walls which would bring light into the space.
Nice work!
I hope that helps-
