Relationship of repeated shapes and overlap patterns As a starting point for my project, I decide to choose to observe on how shapes and patterns a formed. I first went to the Natural History Museum to gather a range of images including objects and the patterns on top of them. I found that that are lots of link between how shapes are joined together, and I am specially interested on its texture and tone while looking it flatly. In fact, the close up images of the texture gives me better inspirations on how my building can work like; so I will use these patterns to build up the ideas for my architecture design. The first experiment which I done is to take out the form of lines inside the images. The shapes inside the close up view makes allows me to see the details, I then simplify it into direct lines such as curves and straight lines, which allows me to arrange them into my own patterns. These helps me to think about the look of my building, even if it is just simply changing the texture on the wall surface.
Brief for the project
Guide for the restaurant functions
In order to decide on what the building will be design for, I have complete a list about the possibilities and functions which could be suitable for the topic. While designing my building, I should always refer back to the brief so that what ever I include will be suitable for my selected idea. By having a guide such as this, it will be less easy to go off track while designing.
Suitable spaces which can allow a large amount of customers to stay in Enough amount of tables and chairs which are layout comfortably for the audiences Moveable furniture for changing the use of space Waiting spaces for the audience to stay while there are no tables left. Bar that cam be sit around, specially for the customers who come for a drink Different styles of interior spaces which suggests different themes Kitchen for cooking Store room for staffs to use Toilets for both genders Health and safety guides such as alarms and fire exits Disability help Levels for the building Entertainment such as TV and snooker tables Green Environment
Possible Building Types Museum Hotel House Club School Restaurant Outdoor space Bridge Multifunctional area Green house Sports club Resting spaces Beach House Supermarket Shopping centre Office Performance Studio Cinema Adventure land Communication space Flat Park
And after thinking about the options which I have, I make of decision on selecting restaurant as a result for my project. This is due to how the process of serving customers has contain a strong relation between the place and others, and it is a place where people have lots of communication in it. I would want to create a restaurant for a university, meaning that a large space will be needed to fit in the amount of customers, including students and staffs. Except of a large food hall for students, there could also be smaller rooms for teachers and event use. Primary Images
The whole building is based on a square box, however patterns were covered on top of the building, which adds style on the design.
Wood pattern were applied in a part of the interior. By placing natural decoration near the wood, it creates a natural atmosphere to the room.
The two layers of pattern structure creates a overlapping tone to the surface. The blue lighting reflects to the white surface and changes the colour of the building.
A part of the bar contains a different style compare to the green space. The use of black makes it to look like a senior restaurant, and the decoration of mirror makes the small space to look wider.
Having holes into the ground makes the audience to feel comfortable even when sitting on the floor This relates to the culture of Japanese live, which fits this Japanese restaurant. The stairs helps both the staff and customer to get near the table
Secondary Research Tori Tori Restaurant
The extension sculpture contains sharp textures just like origami, the directions of the sharp points are changing depending on how wide the shape is bended.
The texture which the sculpture contains, looks like the surface of a durian. It feels very harmful to the outside, however it also gives protections to the user.
The extension sculpture contains sharp textures just like origami, the directions of the sharp points are changing depending on how wide the shape is bended.
The triangles are created with a hole at the middle side, which allows light to past through into the under space.
This applies natural lightings into the building, but also meaning that water will pass through to. So it is not suitable to be use in rainy days.

Experimenting with ideas by using tones and textures Primary image of the metal cover Before thinking of what my plans and exterior could look like, I first started on breaking down the shapes inside my primary sources. I decided to select the little points out from the metal cover, as they contain the same shape, different scales but also a continues pattern path – which strongly fits my theme. By looking at the points closely, I had recognize that they are in simple forms of squares. The sides around them are not as flat, and most of the angles had been curved quite smoothly. However, it looks like squares from a far distance due to the 4 sized shape at the top.
I use a process of copying the single shape, then combined lots of them into different directions and forms. I kept the edges of them to be flat and straight, since it needs to work convertible for a space.
These patterns may become a part of my building, such as being the form of entrance, glass windows, or even the building itself.
Reflecting and rotating makes the sculpture to become a wider space, instead of only a flat plate of surface which is not useful.
Side view of how the barriers might look like.
The pattern could also be curved around the building and forms a wall/ texture.
An example of a simple glass cover on the roof.
If the surface of the patterns are not flat, it might create more interesting texture to the building.
Ways how the patterns can become light/rain barriers. These are some sketches of the forms which the block of patterns can create. Due to how it contains a repeated tone, I think that it can be useful as being covers of the building, or as a design of the side wall. These can even form a building for my project, just like Lego blocks.
An example of a floor steps design.
The gaps between the form will become useful space in the interior or exterior. The basic shape of the pattern can be develop into other shapes, instead of using simple rectangles.
Creating flat patterns by using tones and textures
Primary images of metal blinds
Depending on the distance of sight, it is possible for the rectangles to look like lines by standing far away.
I strongly believe that placing the patterns at a rotation of 45 degrease looks more model compare to using simple straight lines. The idea of overlapping patterns adds density to the texture, this suggested me about the thickness of the parts – seeing if they should be all flat or include changes of layers.
Primary images of metal blinds
Smaller patterns can usually be create inside the overlapped shapes, which adds details to the tone of the design.
Patterns with simple shapes can also form into interesting patterns, suitable for detail surfaces and wall designs etc.
The blank spaces between the patterns can work as the gaps between the buildings, as having enough breathing space is also important for a design. This makes the visitors to feel comfortable and not too busy.
While overlapping the same patterns inaccurately, there will gaps leaved between which contain different sizes. These can become exterior spaces between the building’s environment
Exploring the ways to design the plan view of my restaurant
As the polygons are too small to become suitable spaces, I can simplify the walls so that only the outline will be the actual space.
Primary image of the hourglass
I had come up with an idea of using the shape of the sand clock to become a part of my design, as its polygon outline looks more different compare to the use of rectangles and triangles.
The problem of overlapping is that there might be too much lines that are not useful for a plain plan view, so I will still have to develop them in to space.
Inside these designs, I special like this one (on the left of the text). This is due to hoe there are similar spaces which are linked and close together, showing the relationship between the parts of the design. The rectangle shape also works for a restaurant, in order to fit in a certain amount of audiences.
I decide to keep these shapes in all black so that I can think about how spaces can work first; if there are walls inserted, they might block the possibilities of my interior space.
The shape of this design contains more rotations and overlaps compare to the others, and these create large spaces for my restaurant. However, I will still have to think more and see if it is suitable enough for a restaurant, for example on how the food can be pass from the kitchen to where the customers are eating at.
This design might be too complicated as a plan view, as there are too much small spaces compare to the others. However, I can still simplify it into spaces that can fits my brief.
Simplified outlines of the plan views above.

Flat surface made by random order of triangles Colour used for the exterior and interior are the same due to the material used.
The colour would look more bright at the interior space when natural light pass through. The use of wood material fits with the environment since it is around a forest This doesn’t destroy the natural sight of the area.
A plain colour floor is included, showing a sense of juxtapose to the complicated shapes on the walls.
Secondary Research Tianmen Mountain Restaurant
The light which pass through the gaps of glass creates a pattern to the floor. This changes depending on the amount and direction of light. The column and edges had been made with metal, the use of black is also used on the stairs. This make the building to contain the same style in over all.
Primary photographs of restaurant spaces Inside the Japanese restaurant – Ginza, there is a long table in front of the sushi bar, which allows the customers to watch the process of making sushi. This is suitable for the long rectangle interior space, while be able to fit enough customers in the shop.
Instead of wooden chairs, sofas can also be use in a restaurant. For example if there is a waiting area, sofas will be a lot more comfortable – this can affect to motivation of the customers before eating.
The image on the left hand side of the page is a drink bar of the restaurant – Jasmine. The long table around the bar makes it easier for the staffs to collect and bring the drinks to the customers when ready.
There are movable glass walls between the interior spaces of the restaurant, in order to separate a large space into parts while there are no special events.
The walls of the Chinese restaurant – Peking Garden, is turned into traditional windows, fitting culture into the atmosphere.
The Italian Kitchen Restaurant applies images and paintings on the wall, which most of them are about Italian history, food or culture. This apply educations and memories to the customers who visit, making them to remember the shop.
This Western Restaurant applies natural patterns such as leafs and flowers on top of the glass for separation, which is likely for the customers to feel more relax.
An example of a curve shape reception table of the Pacific CafÊ – this is useful for small spaces (which is blocked by columns etc.)
This Pizza Hut contains the same red and brown colour scheme just as the other shops of the company, this makes people to recognize the shop easier as there are so many franchise shops of them in the world.
Pen sketches of the interior spaces I had drawn these pen sketches in order to see how the spaces work inside Tori Tori Restaurant. These are done by using black ball pen and red ink pen.
I did these drawings in two colors, in order to show the building space and furniture separately. This allows me to see the detail from a complicated space.
The plan view of the building shows me the positions of where the furniture and walls are. This remind me to make sure that there have to enough free spaces, in order for the audiences to feel comfortable in the restaurant. On the other hand, it is also important to think about the amount of chairs and tables that will be needed in my space.
Primary studies of interior spaces by using colour markers
The use of furniture including chairs and tables are mostly the same set, which contain curved sides instead of sharp edges.
While visiting Lakeside Shopping Centre, I did some sketches with fine liner and color maker of the interior space, in order to see how it is actually arranged. The columns under the glass roof top are used for holding the building. By looking at it in different angles, I can see triangle shapes formed between the holes, which is where light can pass through.
Model 1 – arrange objects to gather forms and patterns for my building For my first model, I decide to start by arranging broken pieces together, instead of looking at new products. The objects I collect are all with different sizes and shape, which can stop my building from looking like a boring square box.
I selected this curve shape out, since it could become a form of how my pattern can be place around the building.
I tried on doing different arrangement of the objects, which allows me to select parts of them out. This will help me for developing my ideas, while combing them with my primary sources. I special looked at the sides and lines of the polygon, and found out that it contains a pattern that could be useable.
These are some plan views which I created base on simplifying the model, I rotated parts of them and combined again in order to form further ideas.
I also selected certain shape from my image, then link them together for creating a more suitable space for my restaurant. By adding lines inside the plan, it helps me to think about how rooms can be separated in the building.
Idea development for plan views Inside this form, I took out the curved card piece and think of how in can turn into a spiral shape pattern.
Model 2 – Seeing possibilities from flexible material After looking at arrangement of solid objects, I then decide to cut and create forms by using pieces of steel webs. I choose this as my experiment material since it contains similar textures and patterns to my primary images.
When creating this form above, I curved the piece around the sample building, and found that there are gaps between the space. This give me inspiration on inserting exterior spaces such as gardens and pools in the restaurant area. Except on thinking about how the web can form the general shape of the building, I also think about how it can cover parts of my interior spaces, just like a complicated roof top. This inaccurate sculpture shows future possibilities to my restaurant. By thinking of the direction which this can help me for, I would like to focus on its curves and twists, since these can help me on deciding how my patterns can be place around the building environment
The curved web contains a shape of wave/mountain while looking it from the side, which suggest a natural form to the audience, even though the steel is manufactured by human. I will have to make sure that the interior spaces of the restaurant will still work while having this kind of unbalance exterior shape.
Side view of the model I also try and simplified the forms into shape outlines, which allows me to add details on top and transfer them into actual building forms.
Birds eye view of the model
Wall structure developed from patterns and models I start to combine similar ideas together, from my research and my models. I selected the shape out of the patterns in order to turn it into suitable form for my interior.
I found that the holes in this bridge of my primary photo shows a link to the ideas of model 1, which is why I choose to join them together.
This is the part which I selected out from the shapes of my first model.
I did some sketches of how the lines can be place in my pattern, specially on where there should be solid lines and where there should be holes. This is for making a stable structure while light can pass through.
After deciding on the template of the shape, I then copy an amount of it and place them into a pattern form. I also think about how they can be join if they are made with solid materials.
This is a SketchUp model created base on my template, which I applied a metal texture on the surface in order to make it look like real material.
For the amount of squares which I need for my wall structure, I will decide it depending on where it is going to be place. This will be suitable as long as they are in the correct scale, plus being strong enough to hold the building.
I decided to make the cross look like this, since I believe that this shows a stronger link to the idea of overlapping patterns from my theme.
Model 3 – turning object forms into cardboard model
While making my third model, I decide to arrange the objects again by combining it with my forms of steel webs, in order to see the relationship between this roof and the possible interior space.
I arrange the objects by following a similar order to the shape outline of my other plans, just to see an example of how it could look in 3D.
This is an example of how the wall would look like, it is flat and simple since I can then insert my own patterns on top later.

Back side View
This is a model which I made with cardboard, base on the plan views of the object arrangement. In this model, I am thinking more about where my patterns and structures can be place between my building, so that my works will link together with my theme.
Plan View Experiment on functions such as moveable doors/windows. The patterns which I apply on top of the walls, is create base on rearranging the rectangles into a more random pattern. This can be made with glass blocks while doing my actual design. I also place a cross pattern piece of cardboard on the side, in order to represent where the wall structure could be place at.c
These are some models which I had made by using card, I choose to cut out certain patterns which I had created before, then bend them into suitable forms.
Model 4 – card model ideas for exterior
I cut out these stair shape pieces, then overlap them in order for filling the gaps of the roof.
The changes of shades suggested the depth of the sculpture.
I can develop these by thinking about the use of materials for the building, such as the glass windows and concrete walls etc.
Sketches of buildings developed base on the models These sketches are what I drawn base on the 3 models. An to develop them further, I started to add in details such as solid line roofs, the windows and the entrances etc. By changing the basic plan view which I focus on, the arrangement of the roof top had also changed in order to fit suitably.
For some of the exterior views of the roof tops, I had designed them by turning the steel web shapes into flat roof covers. Most of them contains a smooth curved surface, which allows rain and snow to slide off to the sides.
I also use a way of drawing on top of simple square box as my other starting point. This make the interior to be accurate for being a restaurant. The patterns are then added on top of the walls.
I even designed new ideas based on a new plan view with just the patterns, to see if it will have much differences to my original directions.
Base model and locations of the restaurant In order to create accurate spaces inside the building, I use SketchUp to make a simple model, following the size of the building.
The building is made with a range of different sections, which is made by cubes and curved surfaces. This is decided sue to the amount of areas a restaurant need, including kitchens and toilets etc.
Ground Floor
Restaurant Area
Wine Bar & Food Lift
While thinking about the height of the restaurant, I believe that there are likely to be two floors.
Waiting Area
I created the outline of the building by selecting the different lines and then simplify. I have decided to make most of the walls flat, so that the area wont be over complicated. This will be suitable for placing the tables & chairs across the area.
I took the blank spaces from one of my earlier design out, then apply it into this plan. I believe that this is suitable for becoming a garden or other green environments, which applies a natural atmosphere to the building.
Corridor
Toilets
I then start to separate the plan by cutting them into sections. From my research, I had found out how there needs to be at least 5 spaces – including the restaurant, kitchen, toilets, waiting area and the storage room. This is why I include 1 big space and 4 smaller spaces on the sides.
VIP Room
Reception
Lift & Stairs to 1st floor
VIP Room
As having too many shape edges might make the building to look like a square3 box, I then applied the spiral tones into the building. I will think about how this can be decorated while designing the exterior wall with my patterns.
Base model and locations of the restaurant 1st Floor Having a bridge in my restaurant could be a good function, since it provides a space that is located at the middle of the air for the audiences to use.

In order to protect the customers from falling down the bridge, there needs to be fences on the sides, which includes a safety height for both adult and childe.
I had start to think about the use of bridge as a function, from my sketches of buildings of my models.
Plan view and side views of the restaurant These are the set of view points which shows the building from different directions. West Elevation
The space and furniture are planed mainly for fitting the amount of customers from the university. Functions are located following the guide from the page before, since they are suitable for separating the building.

Plan View
In order to generate ideas from organic forms, I start to focus on the patterns and shades from random paper forms. This is because of how paper contains lots of layers, which can be develop into spaces.
I use Indian ink to do these experimental drawings, as it contains a different tone of lines due to the control and texture. These forms are then developed into building designs which contain windows and doors. I also try and apply the shapes from my patterns into these exterior design, which creates examples of for my restaurant could look like.

Interior spaces of the food hall
These are some ideas of how furniture can be arrange between the space. By looking at my specification, there will need to be selection of long tables in order to fit an amount of customers. A wine bar is also included at the middle, which higher chairs were placed on the outside curve. The amount of chairs at the outside can be adjust depending to the actual size of the space, which I will find out while producing the models. Sofas is possibly the most suitable option for customers who bough drinks such as coffee and tea, as they come for relaxing other then eating their meals.
Development from patterns into glass windows
Own patterns turning into ideas for window glass
Ideas of how windows on the roof that can be open
Changes of window shapes depended on views and locations
The choose of using light blue coloured glass should be more suitable then the plain white, since it applies a technological colour scheme on top of the random shape glass (which looks like lightering). On the other hand, this help to block direct light that could distract the customers who are eating. These glass are also more suitable then plain rectangles of glass windows, as it is less likely for the building to become overheat under warm weathers.
Interior spaces of the food hall
This is the drink bar which locates near the centre garden, this provides a natural view for the customers who are enjoying their drink. The right hand side of the “U� shape table contains sits for drink; and for the other two sides, they are places for collecting food which had been ordered. The two lift at the middle allows food to be transfer from the kitchen above to the bar, which is a quick and safety process.
In order to fit the amount of students in the food hall, a huge amount of rectangles shape tables were applied in the space. By having all these tables and chairs to be in the same scale, it will be a lot easier while packing them to the sides – so that the space can be clear up quickly for cleaning or events. The set of tables are layered out each other, creating a long table which groups of students can sit around, this allows them to communicate easily. The glass tables allows the student to make sure that they didn’t leave their objects under the space before leaving, so that there will be less chance for their items to be lost. This is due to how difficult it will be for finding objects in a large space like this.
A long bar table is located on the side of the wall, which contains plugs in order for the students to use laptops while eating. This is specially for the ones who need to continue working while having their meal. There are also enough blank space between the tables and the drink bar, which allows customers to queue without disturbing others.
Interior spaces of the VIP rooms
Plan view showing the location of rooms
While looking at the two rectangles of rooms which joins together on my plan, I thought about placing a moveable wall at the middle, which can turns the space into two small rooms or one long room at any time, depending on the situation.
The room on the left hand side contains a door to the mini garden which locates at the outdoor, This makes it easier for the customer how book the rooms to travel between with privacy.
Hand sketch of ideas before making the model
There are two set of sofas and tables placed at the middle of each mini room, this make these VIP rooms to be comfortable for small groups of customers – while having events of celebrations.
Render and photo edits of the room views
After creating the base rendered, I develop them my the patterns which I had suits
model with and combining with created, which with my theme.
The general room contains a blue and grey colour scheme, the same with the glass and walls used for the exterior. These small blocks of rectangles suggest the pattern of bamboos from the natural world, and they are also placed with a similar arrangement on the walls.
The area located at the centre of the building is a outdoor garden, which contains a range of trees and plants on a soft grass surface. This is a suitable place for the customers to relax at noon, specially in summer and spring. Wooden chairs are placed around the sides of the windows, allowing the audience to sit on. Tables can be added near, for events including picnic. The walls around this garden are mostly transferred into glass windows, which customers in the building can also look at the environment while enjoying their meal. There are also 3 doors located between the windows.
The Centre Garden
This area is environmental friendly, as it provide a place for plants to grow at. Birds can also stop on the trees, however feeding from customers shouldn’t be allowed, due to health and safeties of a restaurant.
Mini Garden
The mini garden near the VIP room contains a similar shape as a pizza slice. Different to the center garden, this is only allow to be use by the customers who booked the VIP room, either for their meal or other events. There are only two trees planted on the grass, since having more clear space will allow a bigger area for celebration and enjoyments. Due to safety of the area, there are also two entrance near by, one from the main hall and the other from the VIP room.
Other locations and functions of space

SketchUp model sample for making the final outcome
The model will be made in a 1:100 scale
In order to produce a handmade final outcome, I decided to create a sample model by using SketchUp, which work shows how the final outcome would look like. The use of colors in this model separates each feature out from the building. This works as a guide for me in order to know about the layers for building the restaurant. The design of the exterior fits completely suitable with the plan view of my design. The ideas of glass and walls are related back to my inspiration of patterns and structure, related back to the theme.
A sample of where the bridge will be located between the building
For the options of materials which will be needed for my model, I decide to use MDF wood board for making my main building, due to its natural texture on the surface. As it is possible to cut the layers of wood by Laser cut, I think that the burned surface will also be suitable as the color for my edges. And to produce the effect of glass by using materials, I decide to choose transparent acrylic sheets. By overlapping the pieces on top of each other, the lines can be seen in detail from the surface. This strongly links to the relations of overlapped patterns.
Final Outcome – Compound CafÊ
The model is made following a scale of 1/100.
^ The front view of the restaurant.
Ponds and grasses created base on continues patterns.
Side entrances hidden between the glass and wall structures.
This is my final outcome of the campus restaurant, made base on the use of MDF, acrylic sheets, card and figures for decoration. The overall design is made following the plan of the ArchiCAD model. The layout of the blue glasses are overlapping each other, which becomes thicker then the designs in my Sketch Up model. I had decide to do this in order for creating extra spaces between the walls, which all guides to fire exits and side entrances.
There are 1/3 of the walls which had not been covered by the blue glass, which contains access such as the main entrances and sit stairs for the audiences to use. This can help on blocking certain amount of light going into the building, so that the environment will be less likely to get overheat.
A wide blank area is located at the front and back of the building, so that the entrance won’t be block in busy time. This also gives a space for the students to community near nature.
Details and functions
There are nature decoration which were build around the main building, including grass lands and ponds. This makes the blank space to become friendly to the environment, this also becomes a park which the customers can rest at. The surface of the land contains different layers, which creates sits and stands for the customers to use.
The bridge is placed on top of the middle park.
^ A green space is located on the roof of the building.
^ The design of the wall structure is included between the model.
Stairs from the first floor to the green space on the roof.
Evaluation By looking at my project overall, I think that my final model fits successfully to my brief. This due to how it had included enough shapes for the different functions inside a restaurant. The exterior of the building had contained entrances and windows at the sensible places, which fits well with my interior plan. When experimenting on the use of material for my model, I specially like how the use of wood layers creates a natural texture to the building style, which fits the environment for then using metallic materials. The transparent acrylic work well too by covering the building with its glass feelings. The use of reflection of light makes the model to look realistic inside photos. This is why my model looks real from the sight. I think that the shapes and structure selected in my model had showed the most relation back to my experiments, referring to the theme of continues patterns. This is working well to the surface of my building as the use of overlap and gaps had contain strong continuity around the flat polygon building area. This makes the building to represent the direct theme while working for its own restaurant purpose. The chosen colours of dark blue glasses actually works well to the green environment around it; and since it is not a light colour, it blocks certain amount of light from the sun at the midday – this allows the students to enjoy their food without being disturb by the weather. I had decide to create this outcome by hand instead of the CAD model from my plan, as I think the use of materials can have more possibilities for changing and improving through my process. This is why I could come up with further ideas to the park designs around my building, which develops my model to the suitable environment. This also allows me to challenge myself in the time limit, for making sure that I can handle with all the details before it ends. From this design project, I had developed stronger skills on different directions, as specially on the techniques of both CAD and hand models. This is due to the focus of details and thinking more about how the space can fits my audiences better. On the other hand, I also believe that my skill of layout had improved, due to the change of places between text and images etc. This is due to how I have spend time on looking at portfolio examples and rearranged my project. If I have a chance to improve this project further, I will try and edit my photos by combining them with other sorts of edits and materials, in order to see if there are other ideas which could be use for developing my building spaces.
THANK YOU Design, Art, Architecture. Jason Chan
