DETAILS

CHAIRS REF.

The cube chair can save more space than the previous one.

SHELTER DESIGN DRAFT

refer to the esplanade one, the curve one echo the grass area shape, and looks better than  normal shelter like the one in food-court 

LOCKER ON THE SHOPPING CART.

We decide to design a unique chair with a coin lock system, 

PROS: students will have self-concious to save more space

         if they did not want to tidy up the chairs, the coins will belong to the canteen.

CONS:might be a little bit inconvenience for some people due to need for carrying the chairs to the table themselves.

this is the inside look.

PREPARE FOR THE PRESENTATION BOARD

All the ideals have been confirmed, the last step is to present it in perspective drawings, this is what i have draw and this is only the draft, I also draw this in sketch up...

After this draft things, It may looks more clear and it may help me to import the model into 3DSMAX, ...

this is the details of the furniture inside, what we need to do next is to consider the weather condition, when it's rained it's necessary to add a shelter, but the space is really large, so we might need to add some supporter, 

pictures below is the shelter reference..

this 3 shelter is nice but is not suitable for our school, the straight shape is not match the round place...

but i find that the Esplanade outdoor theater got a really nice shelter,

it also makes me remind the Clarke Quay's one, it's also nice

BUT, the Clarke Quay one got a really big "pillow" in the centre, so it might be take a lot of space, and this shelter make one is too ugly, at leaat 3, but it will be quite expensive..

so the first one(Esplanade one) is better

ALSO GOT A LOT OF SPACE IN NAFA (DISCOVERY)

As I mentioned before, we can only find space inside NAFA, so our group do a "discovery"

pictures all take at the level 3, connect the wing A & wing B

this is quite a large space, can help solve this problem a lot 

This place even got bench and big umbrella just need add a counter to serves the food  

but the problem is that how can student go up level 3 to have the food, not convenient for student and not easy to dilever food from level 1 to level 3...ans sometimes the whether is so hot, it would be better if it got a big size of shelter.

CHOOSE IDEA 1 FIELD MEASUREMENT & FLOOR PLAN

Add another floor is not easy, we need build a small lift inside to serve the food(only serve the food not people) and we also need to add stairs in side or outside, this might be a large project to do...so we choose the idea 1

(this is idea 2 pictures)

The idea 1 we need do a floor plan first, before use the cad to draw the floor plan, we need to do some dimension, one floor tile is about 300mm, the diameter of the circle covers 64 pcs, so totally about 19200mm long, and the same way, the width is about 8900mm long, corridor is 2300mm,.

(pic. below is one of three floor plan we have done)

and pics below is our floor plans 3 ideas...

At last we decide to choose the third one and it looks more comfortable and reasonable....

OUR IDEA 1 & 2

After the tutorial week, we had decided to choose another solution to solve our problem, canteen too small, and we are looking for another place which is suitable for students who want eat in canteen.

Actually, NAFA is not like other polys or universities have a large space in Singapore,  and NAFA is located at downtown, so it is impossible that expanding another area or establishing another building beside nafa. the only way we can do is to explore the space we have.



Idea 1

Inspired from the interview, we decided to remove the fountain in the centre of the canteen, it really take a lot of space, and to be honest, there is no use...and the maintenance fee is also a large amount of money.(pic below is that i use the photoshop to remove the fountain )

so you can see, it is obvious that there is quite a large space for students eating.

(draft plan about our idea 1)

 the grass area is good for students having lunch and relaxing, but it still costs a lot of maintenance fee, so we decided to make the grass area lesser,

Advantages:

    - enlarge the space of canteen

    - reduce the maintenance cost of grass and fountain

    - reduce the manpower expense

Disadvantages:

    - less landscape(green area)

    - makes students boring,(another new problem need to solve.......)

Idea 2

idea 2 is about add 1 more storey, what we have now is the level 1, so there is 2 ways to add a storey, one way is add on the top, which is level 2, the other is add one below, which is the basement, and the basement now is carpark,

You can see that carpark is really big and there seems no so much car in the carpark, so i think it's okay for us to use some space to solve the problem canteen too small instead of waste it...the third pic of carpark u can see that there is a curve structure,  this is where the grass located, so the place i stand is below the canteen.
