final ideas

Partitions:

We have created the idea of installing removable positions within the line space to regulate the flow of people. The partitions utilise the space to organise busy lines and encourage people to meet those around by opening up the face to face  aspect. The partitions have chalk boards with ideas and topics written to spark conversations within groups or with strangers. To solve the problem of people not being able to see the menus and food we have put menus in the side of the partitions for easy access while in line on busy days.

Partitions- to better utilise the space to encourage people to talk to each other by opening up the face to face  aspect while making the lie more ordered.

Tentions:

use of space and creating space

Private vs public

Chatter vs choice

Organisation vs chaos

We have created a seating design for the space for comfort and to encourage socialising with others.

The cross shape of the connected benches creates opening for people to talk through the idea that by occupying the same space they are subconsciously connected, having something in similar encourages people to be more open and therefore more likely to socialise with new people. Opening up the seating so that various people can join increasing the chances of someone starting a conversation that the open tables lead to other people being able to join that space because they are connected by being at the same table.

Lack of something to discourage laptops and other antisocial behavior

Promote 2 way dialogue

Transformational stuff

Space for lots of people so there is more opportunity for there to be someone to sit down that you will talk to

Shared platters

We propose introducing shared platters where people can order various sides or create-a-meals such as burritos. The idea of sharing food strengthens friendships the subconscious feeling of connection you gain through the experience or action of sharing creates memories that will stick around after the experience and create a positive attitude of tussock in afterthought and increased bond through shared memories.
