2/09: Compositional
Using Compositional, one of the evaluating factors of design, this space will be analyzed. Compositional looks at how two-dimensional and three-dimensional aspects have been applied in the space. One of the first things you notice about the space is the scale. It is done in human scale making the space very inviting. The scale also makes the space a place for conversation.
Compositional also looks at the floor plan and how it relates to the three dimensional space. In this case, the floor plan determines where the 3-D booths are located. It makes it look like the tables aren't level. Which is a very cool effect. The way the booths are laid out makes the space feel like an amphitheater. The main focus is the center, which is used as a dance floor. The setup also allows for clear visibility from all the tables. Which is important for all the functions of the space.
A repeating idea in the space is the circle. It can be found on the walls in various forms, and the booths. The use of a circle makes the space more appealing than most modern spaces. It encourages people to relax and take in the space.
Lighting in the space is minimal. How did the designer use light in the space? Do you think the lighting adds or detracts from the overall design? Could you see yourself in the space?
