<p>Dear K4T0, dear Team:Foodcourt,<br>
<br>
It was lovely to meet you on Saturday and I hope you are doing
well!<br>
<br>
Following our discussion, Team:Terrain has had a lengthy
discussion about the proposed food court layout and your question
about moving the bar further to the south.<br>
We have some worries about the user interactions that your layout
invites and how it integrates with our concept.<br>
In particular, we are worried about two things:<br>
<br>
For our camp the visitors are walking through the field randomly
looking at whatever they come across, villages, workshops, art,
etc. and this is desirable behavior. <br>
After all, everyone brings cool stuff, and we want visitors to
engage with each other.<br>
We would like the food court to fit into this usage of the
terrain, so we want to make it natural and almost obvious to walk
through the food court randomly.<br>
Visitors naturally discover what foods exist and that the food
court is a nice place to be. <br>
With the current layout visitors coming to the court have to pass
between the food trucks approaching from behind which will always
feel 'like your doing it wrong'.<br>
<br>
Generally, when placing things on the terrain we try to spread
things out and make use of natural terrain features as much as
possible. <br>
This way the place feels more coherent and less 'different pieces
stuck together with sticky tape'.<br>
To us, the current design feels like a block within the terrain
that does not connect with the surrounding parts. <br>
While we appreciate the fact that the supplier has an interest in
creating a cohesive environment for their food trucks, we think
that with the current location this layout would negatively impact
the flow of the place.<br>
<br>
We also have a technical issue with the design you showed us: It
takes up about half of the space where the info tent was supposed
to be. <br>
We can move it slightly but not far enough to make the exact thing
you proposed work.<br>
This is a technical issue though and for our proposals info will
also be moved slightly.<br>
<br>
We have two proposals for what we think would be a layout that
fits better with the feel of the camp.<br>
Our goal with this is to make use of natural barriers in the
terrain and make the food court an obvious thing to walk through.<br>
Both of our proposals also use more space than was originally
designated for the food court to make it feel more open.<br>
<br>
The first proposal (orange) looks like this:<br>
<img src="cid:part1.s57uxlPO.V0HU065g@why2025.org"
moz-do-not-send="false"><br>
This makes use of the back info and the hill as pre-existing
barriers for the back sides of the trucks while still keeping them
as close together as before.<br>
The funnel shape also makes it natural to walk into from all
sides.<br>
The star tent can also move further north or a bit south, if that
is more convenient.<br>
If we go for this option then it might still make sense to move
the bar south a little, that would be up to you.<br>
<br>
Our second option (pink) pulls the trucks apart a bit more: <br>
<img src="cid:part2.lixVB9xs.i3dTz0dA@why2025.org"
moz-do-not-send="false"><br>
This layout uses the hill at the rice fields as a barrier instead
of info. <br>
That way we still allow info to be open from any side and
integrate the bar more into the food court.<br>
The position of the star tent here is even more fluid and can move
sensibly on the grass it is currently on.<br>
<br>
A hybrid of orange and pink not putting anything next to the hill
is also definitely possible. We just haven't drawn that yet as we
don't know all the design considerations that you are working
with.<br>
<br>
Please let us know what you think!<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
Team:Terrain<br>
