Assignment 6 - Space Organization

For this assignment we had to study the spaces of the buildings we are researching. I chose different colors to represent each room. The rooms that have no color are the ones that I was not able to determine what they were, some of the plans were really hard to read since they were small or pixelated. 

When I compared the culinary schools I researched, I realized that the architects kept it very simple. All of them have a restaurant or exhibition room and as per classrooms, the kitchen is their classroom. Something that I want to do for my design is to keep the restaurants separate from the school but at the same time for them to be connected. Students will be able to show their capabilities in the restaurant but they also should have a more private space. Also, I want to have special rooms for their different types of ingredients since some need a lower temperature than others.    

When I studied the Media Center Schools, I saw that a lot of the rooms are labs and classrooms. It is completely different from the culinary schools since all their classrooms have computers. One thing that they have in common with the culinary schools is that they both have an exhibition area. Also, the 2 plans for the media center look alike because the rooms go around a middle core. In addition, even though it looks like a complicated plan, they are easy to follow.
