Design Development: After Midterm

On midterm on March 16th, My group presented three design schemes with details of two focused area of  reception and shopping area. We, my group (I&Christi) and entire class, had a valuable critique from many jurors including Suzan Bateson, executive director at ACCFB, and CCA faculties. There were great comments to rethink our design strategies over the spring break.


Juror comments are:
• Shopping at the Food Bank is not a typical shopping experience: 
1. Targeted user: Agencies including soup kitchens, food pantries, child-care centers, senior centers, after-school programs and other community-based organizations
2. Agency shoppers usually bring in their shopping list to purchase and their alloted time to shop is 30minutes
3. Product availability: Product on sale can be different everyday
• By understanding the shopping experience at the Food bank, we can develop design strategies which expresses ACCFB's narrative
• Highlight important interaction in the space so that the space user understands the mission of ACCFB.
• Meaning of Food donation barrel: what is the conceptual meaning behind, and translate it in the design conceptually. 
• Think about warehouse as a 'big box' and the design strategy as the 'big idea'
• Efficiency as a goal, but not as a design strategy: it should be an overarching goal
