As we talked a bit in class today, I just wanted to repeat my thoughts. I think the "knife" is a key part of this building and should be the important link between the culinary school and the restaurant - the learning kitchen. This program was missing and I know that you were having a hard time locating it. This is the connection....
Indicate on your plans the major arterial or circulatory pathways...this always helps to determine the interactions between each of the program areas. As presented they are pretty conceptual masses of space, and as some overlap on multiple levels are they connected or open up to each other in section as well as in plan?...the knife or blade is the critical 'celebrated' space of this project and how it serves to separate AND connect the differing (even if associated) programs AND planes, is critical to understanding how the blade gesture interrupts/shears/divides/connects visually...figuring that out may help determine best locations for supporting or secondary programs.
