Photography 1: P & P, Proj 16: Exploring Function

Project 16: Exploring function

For this project I was required to find an interior space, either domestic or public, and consider it from the point of view of its function.  Who uses it or will use it.  The purpose of the room/space was analysed.

I chose the cafeteria at Oriel Y Parc in St Davids in Pembrokeshire as this is a popular eating and meeting place in the city.  The important things that the space ought to be doing are:

  • Providing food and drink to visitors and locals.
  • Provide a warm bright space for people to meet and socialise in.
  • Provide internet access.
  • Provide reading material for casual visitors.

The space is very light and welcoming, even on a dull or rainy day.  This room has windows front and back to collect the light throughout the day.  There is a good flow through the room that increases the relaxed ambience.  There are computer terminals and daily newspapers providing internet access and reading matter for visitors.
