Gathering and Cafe

Purpose:

To create a place for informal gathering alongside a coffee, allowing the place to be more welcoming for students to stay, procrastinate and relax, after a workout, or anytime!

Intervention

The existing coffee caravan on site can help to easily kickstart this connection. Incorporating informal seatings such as recycled pallets and bean bags will allow the place to be more welcoming for students to stay, procrastinate and relax. Eventually, in later phases, we believe the coffee caravan could become permanent feature for the Hub.

Sensitive to Nature

The informal types of furniture such as pallets can also be made from recycled materials. Also, the temporality and movability of the installation will cause less environmental impact to the grass lawn.

Corona Virus Response

Informal seating will be distanced 1.5 meters with planting in between, to enable the campus community to engage socially whilst distancing physically.

How is it happening?

Initially, the use of recycled pallets and cushions will help lower the start-up costs. In later phases, this hub will look into incorporating colorful bean bags (cheapest œ«Ìˆœ˜ÃVœÃÌ>ÀœÕ˜`f{äi>V…®°
