yummm....a cafe.

for the next 28 days-- i will be diving myself deep into the world of cafes. i'm pretty excited to be working on the cafe space of the 'school of architecture' building. i haven't had a chance to study the food service industry + i'm excited for the challenge. so because i'm designing this cafe- i felt it was approproate to dedicate certain food counters for each group member. as a group- we decided on the best array of foods for the cafe:

debbie's deli
sarah's sushi
kemena's koffee
jessie's juices
marianne's muffins
and......
matt's meats. ha

anywho- i've started researching + gathering some images to inspire, activate, + stir my creative process:

sprial cafe: marks barfield architects:: birmingham, united kingdom

illy cafe in push button house: adam kalkin

this isn't the traditional setting of a cafe but still pretty cool how one shipping container can transform in a cafe in an innovation application. this posts can correlate to one of jimmy's earlier posts...

municipal library: archea associati:: nembro, italy

this isn't a precedent of a cafe but it did remind me of the louvers sarah found during her materials research. instead of the larger scale louvers, these smaller scale red glazed earthenware tiles still can create + function the same.
