Initial Designs

Looking at functionability, I have found that this shape works exceedingly well in two main areas, firstly it is a perfect modular design, able to tessellate at 90 and 180 degrees, giving a broader range of design shape. Secondly this shape opens up four distinct seating arrangements where three to four people can interact in different ways. This gives groups the opportunity to decide where and how they would like to interact, and also gives the opportunity for groups of one to two people the option of either mingling with groups or privacy should they so wish.

This picture shows just a few simple examples of how groups could interact with eachother, but the space would not usually have up to twelve people in it.
