3DCP: 3R'S /Caravan inspiration/ Container Cafe

Initial sketches of Caravans.
Case study: researched comelite-arch containers.
Caravans are a wondrous invention that architects and interior designers tend to ignore. It is home from home, rather than just a mode of transport. From my research, I discovered that there is over a million caravans in the UK alone, all which are different. Including Turn axe caravans, pop top caravans and tiny teardrop trailers. Researching different types of caravans was what triggered my next idea of creating a container café which can easily be moved around, rather than being in a fixed location.  My container café would house my customers and allow the to eat in a relaxed environment. Like all other container cafes it will be small but exceptionally unique, with a personnel door and certified electrics.
When designing my model I decided that the frontal area, will be used as an open space. With artificial grass and foam board tables and chairs. I also decided that it will be accompanied with a stair case, for my customers to have easy access to the balcony.

Watching this movie made me question the efficacy of torture as a means for combating terrorism but also made me realise that 'resistance' is a movement that has occurred for years in different countries by a variety of means.

Guillaume Apollinaire He used poetry as a way of escapism during the war. His poems were effective due to his typeface and spacial arrangement which worked to create an image. In this sense the visuals could be considered to be just as important as the text. His style was something I intended to incorporate in my own work; a typeface to add meaning to a composition. Reza Abedini   A recognisable Iranian graphic designer, who combines simple illustrations with poetic typography which has heavily been influenced by his Islamic heritage Persian language.
