I very happy to see you incorporated some "human" perspective views in the final images! It really starts to give you a feel for what the real space might be like. I think having the community garden contained within the footprint of the building is an interesting idea! There were some very valid concerns regarding the viability of having a garden surrounded by the cafeteria. But with further investigation and refinement, you could probably make it work by using the right plants and/or modifying the roof to allow for maximum sun exposure. Just a thought: designing a small outdoor courtyard and making the footprint of the building into more of a "c" shape, could have been an even more viable solution. But you might not get the "fishbowl" effect that you get with your current design, which I find interesting!

Thank you for taking time and giving us feedback on our final design. The structure of the garden was our initial plan; making it inside the cafeteria surrounded by glass to create a more enjoyable view for the student eating on the first and 2nd floor. Now that you have mentioned the "c" shape structure of our building we do realize it would have a more viable solution but unfortunately it is too late, we are finished with the model itself and we must present tomorrow. Thank you, again!
Nice to see different types of tables in the cafeteria. It makes the place a more comfortable place to eat and relax. The final design turned out great.

Thank you for your suggestion about the ways we could solve some problems that the inside garden may give. We never thought of the "c" shape idea, but that would be a good solution. Making some pipes underneath the garden to take way the water concentration under the garden and lead to perhaps outside plants could probably work as well. Once again thank you for guiding us throughout this project! Very much appreciated.
