Clos ing Remarks
The Confluence Cafe started by having to find a solution for a booth design that could fit two between fifteen feet. The beginning of the booklet is almost broken into each segment that occurred during the development of the pro-cess. We investigated designs until finding a valuable one, at this point we started to look at the structural approach for this design. Then construction documents were drafted for the booth. After models were made the drawings were then redlined (this document was the introduction for the larger docu-ment to come). Building models was essential because it gave insight into how structural joining should take place. This brought the first section of the project to a close.
Now we were faced with finding a solution for laying out a booth inside a trel-lis-like colonnade structure which holds the Pollack building up off the ground nine-and-a-half feet. Once a very simple arrangement was found, research began on the necessities of a cafe functionally (this was going to affect physi-cal spacing). In the background, a few guidelines were being put into place:
1)Provide a cafe function or the design students, with a place to loiter. 2) Brand the Pollack building as the design building.3) Engage the already established architecture.4) Give part of the space to be a gallery for the design departments. 5) Encourage engagement with the built environment. 6) Try to be a bit different.
Construction Documents came next. That practice was crucial and will remain a building block in my development. This project has been dif-ficult, but well planned out, help along the way was sometimes stinging, but the end product (yours truly and this reminder of a point in time) is only better for it.
