Exercise 4
Design 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 Objectives

This 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 Requirements

STAGE 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
