Dj Booth
Location
Basically I am doing DJ booth in the cafe area.I choose this location because this is the place where people are going to take something for drink and eat. They are sitting for relax, to have few minutes with their friends to discuss something.They are many people there early in the morning which are takes a coffee before their lectures and I think it will be great if we starts our day with little nice music. It will be useful not just for the people in the cafe and for the people which are in the entrance to listen music while they are walking to the elevators or stairs.
Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto
The architect which i researched is Alvar Aalto.He is Finnish architect from the beginning of 20th century and he has more than 300 built projects, except this he designed furnitures. The main shape for my work is borrowed from one of his most important furniture projects his‘‘ Paimio chair‘‘. A lot of his work is based on oval shapes and wood. He designed in this way because he was been inspired by nature.And there aren`t many correct shapes.I used this oval shape in the main construction of this dj booth and I try to show part of his work inside like a furniture.
Area
This Dj booth doesn't take large area and much space so the cafe can hold same number of people.The main idea of this location is to everyone can see it when go in the cafe or in the entrance. And in the same time will not interfere of the normal use of the area. It is closer to the windows and have enough light across the day.At night it will have own light in different colours inside.
Construction and materials
The main construction is from steel, and it is lined with plasterboard.The front wall is glass.This gives possibility of the Dj to see all the people in the coffee and back.He will see how they feel, do they like his work.If there is something wrong he can change it. The door is located on the glass wall. Inside the Dj have a desk where he can put his equipment and other desk to put his drink without hazard of spilling over his equipment or other stuff.
