The final outcome

This is the final outcome of our project regarding Lack of Social Spaces in School. In  my 16 weeks of Design Process lesson, I have learnt the right way to write a proper report, a case study and coming out with proper solutions to solve the problem.

With this A2 presentation board me and my group members came up with, firstly since we are doing research about cafeteria, we jot down the problems faced over there as shown on the top left hand corner of the board. Then, we came up with 101 ideas to improve the school's cafeteria.

Among 100 ideas, we choose the best 3 to improvise the school's cafeteria which is to install Multi-Purpose Furniture, WIFI and a Live Band(i feel that it's a good idea).  In addition, we want the school's cafeteria to have the ambience and atmophere as if we are in one of those cafes out there. As in you will tend to have this warm feeling and smell whenever you enter a cafe.

We did a sketch and render the final outcome shown on the top right hand corner of the board. From normal furniture, we planned to transform it into multi purpose furniture. We also want to put a live band on top of the school's fountain.

With this proposal, stakeholders will have this opportunity to be spending their free time at the school's cafeteria socializing and interacting with one another since it is one of the social spaces in school.

Multi Functional Furniture

I felt that by implementing multi-purpose furniture to the school's cafeteria, it would prevent from space constraint. I did a research regarding multi purpose furniture and so below here is idea that i would wish to put in the school's cafeteria. .

Bookcase designed by Sakura Adachi

This is a bookcase designed by Sakura Adachi. in between those furniture, you can put reading materials underneath it so you could add extra entertainment while you're eating. Dispersed it when in use and reassemble it when not in use. For those in pairs I feel it is a good idea to make full use of this for dining or reading. It is multi purpose furniture which offers a space saving solution and fulfills your everyday activities in small environment.

Problem with my school's cafeteria

Today, me and my group mates went to our school's cafeteria for our site investigation and we managed to spot some problems students like us are facing.

Firstly,

 Poor quality of furniture and easily stained.

 Unhygienic way of placing rubbish bin near the entrance of the cafeteria.

Poor arrangement of furniture.
