DESK WORK

            So my problem statement was fixed. The next step was to find the scope of improvement and analyzing the scene in depth so as to come out with something. So I started with my desk work. I came across few good things. But still I wanted to go deep. Initially I didn’t focus on my problem statement so that I could use freedom thinking that something good will come out. Kitchen in itself is a very broad term. It has different shapes, interiors and also different accessories for different types of kitchen.

                                     



  

                 Deciding on a layout for a kitchen is probably the most important part of kitchen design. It's the layout of the kitchen and not its color or its style that determines how easy it is to cook, eat and socialize in the kitchen. At the most basic level, the layout addresses the placement of the appliances, the sink, the cabinets, the counters, the windows and doors, and furniture such as a kitchen table and chairs. If you're building a new home or adding on, you have the luxury of choosing the layout that works best for you and your family. If you're remodeling, the structure of the existing home will limit the options.

                       The most common kitchen layouts include the one-wall kitchen, the galley kitchen, the U-shaped kitchen, the G-shaped kitchen, and the L-shaped kitchen some of which can also incorporate an island.

                          

                        So there are many types of kitchen. Initially to start with i choose simple home kitchen.

FIELD STUDY

                       I took a example of common man kitchen not too sophisticated                    and not so poor too. I noticed few of things.


       

1. ACCESSIBILITY 

                        In Future with population and space, kitchen will be more compact. So how it could be made accessible in terms of space and usability ?

Here is a small illustration and animation done with help of google sketchup.

  

It is often observed that these corners are not used and only the cabinets near to table is used.

                           These corners can be treated and made more accessible by giving them curve. Though this plan, it can be inferred that circular design or curves are more accessible and can also save the space as well as provide more space for women to work 

ADVANTAGE 

1. IMPORTANT FOR FUTURE WHERE KITCHENS WILL BE SMALL.

2. CIRCULAR KITCHEN IS MORE ACCESSIBLE KEEPING THE AREA SAME AND THUS PROVIDING MORE SPACE FOR WORK.

3. ALSO WHEN KITCHEN SCALE IS BIG (IN HOTELS, CAFETERIA,ETC) SPACE CAN BE USED IN BETTER WAY.

4. ALSO KEEPING THE AREA SAME, AS COMPARED TO CUBOID ROOM, CIRCULAR SPACE APPEARS MORE OPEN.  

Hence for future, coming up with circular kitchen is very good solution when it comes to accessibility especially when rooms will be small
