2012 national competition project #031 | cafeteria redesign

05/21/12
This is an interior rendering of the kitchen and food serving area of the cafeteria. There are the dividers separating each line, the entrances and exits, the counter and display cases used for serving, cash registers, and all of the kitchen equipment, including four sinks, two dishwashers, a double freezer, a double refridgerator, cooking equipment, couterspace for preparation, and many cabinets. Everything is designed to make food serving quick and easy.

Comments

These are great Revit renderings! However in terms of design, I suggest that the student/designer eliminate that wall with the openings entirely and make this one large open space. As the student initially suggested, as it exists currently, it sounds like this food service/kitchen area is generally cramped and the wall openings where students are expected to pass through are confusing. As it is, this wall acts more like a barrier, causing traffic jams, than a physical, architectonic 'facilitator'.
