This is a perspective view of the outdoor eating area from the west. I chose to incorporate a water feature to better create a calm, serene environment. The water fountains are filled once and after that, rainfall should sustain a decent water level. I chose to use furniture that is fixed, and does not come apart because heavy winds could blow furniture into the curtain wall. Although chairs that are not attached to the table are preferable, safety and damage concerns were more important. Hold Ctrl + to enlarge image.

great rendering! and your careful consideration of the details of seating and fountain water supply are evidence of a thorough and creative design process. This really looks like a cafeteria that i would enjoy using.

looks really cool. I would conside additional solar control for the west and southwest sun.

hi jacob_s - this is sarah - one of the jurors from round 2. first - i want to congratulate you for making it to round 2. the competition was pretty stiff - and your work really stood out.

i think that you have done a really good job documenting the entire design process. your project is strong in every stage of the development. i was especially impressed at the amount of attention you paid to sustainable issues. building green is essential to the practice of architecture today, and it is great to see that you are thinking about these important aspects of the design. i also wanted to compliment you on your mastery of revit, especially for renderings. the drawings you have produced are very sophisticated. one comment for the next go around would be to focus a little more on your writing. the captions you added were very clear - but it seemed like they focused more on the technical details of the rendering - not on the overall design concept.

but that is a pretty minor criticism. overall - i was very impressed with the project. you also get an extra gold star for your participation on the discover design website. we noticed that you made a point to comment on many of the other students work. this is really important - and makes this website even better. so thanks!

and keep up the great work.
