Site research - climate

After previous tutorial,  I realized that function and purpose are the most important things in design process. First of all, without function to fulfill client requirements, even you design awesome shape, it could be useless. The next is purpose, every changes in your design must have a reason and research support it. It's not easy, so I start to review my project.-How do I locate my kiosk in the old market square? and Why.
In the begining, I put kiosk in the most busy area as below image.














If I include climate factor, especially in Nottingham the days of rainfall great than sunshine. Obiously, kiosk suppose toward the east-south could get the most sunshine.

I miss 蔥抓餅(Green Onion Pancake)

Five months...I miss Taiwanese foods, especially 蔥抓餅(Green Onion Pancake). It's one of my favor foods and usually enjoy it with bubble tea after sport time. Ha~ It's a very high calories meal not good for dieting.
蔥抓餅 - it is made from dough-a savoury, non-leavened flat bread folded with oil and scallions and easy, various changes of preparation and cooking.

How to cook green onion pancake

Outer shape pattern

Depend on the function of kitchen, I have two options of outer shape.
Option 1 - kitchen in the centre and sliace plan then pull it to different way, like windmill.

Question : 
1. Structure possibility? construction, material
2. How to deal with open space?
Pull shape reduces the internal space and larger open space between wings. How to solve the open and close construction will be a big problem.

Option 2 - Kitchen in the end of container. Use two container, one is basis request with kitchen and 8 seats, the other is extended space. Therefore, no matter good or bad weather, kiosk will not be influenced and could change kiosk size to make different light plan.

Question:
1. If I want to pull outer shape become curve, how to hold on the structure on the top and fix the bottom? Farbic is possible? <like xylophone>
2. If I use outer wall pattern to control light plan, what kind of pattern would not be boring when I sit inside the kiosk?
3. Slide truck design suppose should be inside the container's contruction, it would avoid exposure the truck on the outer wall.

To be honest, I pretty like first one...but option 2 is more practical in this period. Ha~~

 

 

Kiosk shape practice

Today, I try to transform the contianer without changing box form..... It's boring, maybe I need try differnet shape with my kiosk.
