In Parallel Reality
A canteen redesign based on an existing ceiling lamp.
The question
How can a canteen’s layout influence queuing, movement and the choice of where to sit?
The brief
Developed at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, In Parallel Reality proposes a redesign of the Mensa am Park university canteen. It uses an existing ceiling lamp as its basic part.
The method
Monoceros combines the lamps into larger structures within spaces defined by the seating positions. The team tests two grid scales and variations with and without translucent panels, comparing them through spatial analysis and virtual-reality evaluation.
The result
An existing lamp becomes a spatial system carrying shelves, plants, power outlets and other everyday functions. Spatial analysis and virtual reality helped the team compare the proposed layouts.
Further development
The redesign was developed as a university study. Construction would require further technical development and assessment.
