Design changes

"The first step towards getting somewhere is with changes, otherwise you are just going to stay where you are..."
 
 
So working with biomimicry I was going to use the butterfly as my inspiration source, but it felt like the design proses was going nowhere and it was not fitting in with the over all identity.
 
 
So it pushed me to look for mew inspiration with biomimicry...
 
 
Soooo with help and guides form my lecturer and classmates came to the conclusion to rather use the chameleon as my biomimicry inspiration.
 
 
The Chameleon work's so well with what I'm am going to do with my proposed designs with the whole transformation form seeing the old historical building on the outside to a whole new contemporary take on the inside with new design elements.
 
Just like the chameleon with its changing of the colour of its skin, its a whole new transformation form one look to another... and their are so much more ways the chameleon in inspiring my design proses.
 
 
So much more exited about my design then before, it feels like I'm going somewhere!!!
 
 

 Their tail
 
Their tongue
 
Their way of life
 
Their eye's
 Their skin

Space planning with design elements

As I'm now up to date with all my hand in's I can focus on my design work, so knowing how my building structure works and I've got all my design theories and precedent studies to get inspiration from I can now ding deep with the new design of my restaurant...

First focusing on my space planning with my kitchen being my main focus at the moment and looking at the type of food I'll be serving and how many people will be served.

Working on my space planning I got inspired by my one theory, Biomimicry to use a specific element to and work with that as my main inspiration.
 
The element I'm going to use is he beautiful and maleficent insect "The Butterfly"
 
This insect has so many element to work with from saving energy, sustainability, structures, beautiful small design element, The way it moves and fly, it life proses from a worm-cocoon-butterfly
 
So now it using these elements and brining it into my design
 
EXITED MUCH!!!!!!!!
