In Case Study No 2, that of the coffee shop, one student chose to design the ground
floor through the differentiation of the flows which cross the site. Being on the
cashier’s spot of the supermarket, one had to manage the entry and exit of customers
who could take a coffee while entering, plus the flow of the flying coffee shop man
who had his own service counter to pick up the orders (Christina Armosti, image 17).
Another student concentrated on the expandability of the coffee shop activities. She
designed a core of minimum floor area and suggested that the rest of the activities
could parasite on the existing infrastructure of the shopping centre (extra sitting
area in the existing café, extra bedrooms for guests in the shopping area where they
sell bedroom accessories, (Maria Mattheou, image 18)
