Exercise 4Design brief of food kiosk.Design Problem Design a kiosk for their collage in the given area is 5mx5m. Due to recruitment or lack of snacks joint and kiosk in DTC college. The management has decided to build a food kiosk in their campus. This should have all the required facilities and should look elegant and should complement the surrounding. As they have running the architecture course in their campus itself. So, the management has decided to give this opportunity to their architecture first year students to grab this golden chance

Design ObjectivesThis exercise is about learning and applying fundamentals of design. The process of learning to design a single volume building (kiosk) allows a student to express his ability to conceive different types of forms. It facilitates the student to understand and apply the nuances of anthropometry by making a model with furniture layout.Design Guidelines The design problem should be taught and implemented with the aim to develop different types of skills so that students are able to acquire following competencies:

i. Develop a sketch design based on visualized kiosk according to given requirements and

justify its concept and design.

ii. Prepare a model of the designed building.

Space Requirements Kiosk design should have proper utilization of each and every small - small space

It should take less time to construct

It should be appealing and environment friendly

Should have some sitting space for students

Drawing RequirementsSTAGE 1

Study an existing single volume building

Identify problems, functional usability and architectural innovations in real life situations.

Analyzes the form, functional clarity, and furniture layout and design innovations of the studied buildings.

Formulate design requirements for the given design project.

Case Study of existing single volume kiosk

Primary data collection: On Site

Secondary data collection: From Books, Magazines, Internet, etc.STAGE 2

Development of Concept and Preparing Sketch Design

Sketch design alternatives and ideas considering various design fundamentals.

Finalize the concept for further design development.

Prepare a functional relationship diagram.

Form - primary tool for a designer

Shape - principal identifying form as it results from the specific configuration of a forms surfaces and edges

Size - dimensions of form i.e. length, width & depth which determine the proportions

Scale and proportion

Function as the precondition for the design State the requirements Derivation of the form keeping in mind the functional requirements. Activity-space relationship

STAGE 3

Preparing Site Plan

Provide specific site location with reference to the surrounding conditions, topography, landscape, climate, etc.

Building orientation on site

STAGE 4

Design Development Drawings

Develop the sketch at an appropriate scale as per anthropometric requirements &show furniture layout

Develop the sketch showing faade treatment and massing

Visualize and draw the building to scale in 3D

Development of floor plans, sections, elevations and spatial relationships at appropriate scale.

Development of elevations and sections with respect to building finishes fenestrations and levels.

Draw an axonometric/isometric view of the designed building

STAGE 5

Final Presentation Drawings and model

Prepare a set of final presentation drawings including all of the above.

Make a model of the designed project to a suitable scale with surrounding

Final presentation drawings with rendering

Preparation of a model
