Part I: Cultural Research: Spain

Modern Culture in Spain grew during out of the Middle Ages. With the growth of

Christianity, Pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela brought culture and economic growths

through Spain. Notable structures were The Church of Sant Vincenc, Cardona, Santiago De

Compostela. Romanesque Style had grown out of France, and spread throughout Spain on the

pilgrimage and trade routes. (Davies, 2011)

Popularly, Romanesque Architecture includes plans resembling the Roman Bascillas.

Common interior structures include barrel vaults made from stone, Ornamental Arches, and

many pillars to support the weight of the stone structure. Buttresses and Height ceilings were

desired, and domed ceilings where areas converge. Weight and structure typically allowed for

only small windows. (Spain: Then and Now, 2016) Decorations included architectural

ornaments and sculpture depicting religious figures. Frescos covered the walls to tell stories.

Portals (entrances) were decorated elaborately. Reliquaries were collected and displayed for

their visitors. (Sacred Destinations, 2016)

Portico de la Gloria at Santiago de Compostela shows elaborate religious sculpture and relieve

work. Arches are supported by large piers. (Sacred Destinations, 2016)

Interior of Santiago de Compostela, large piers supporting high vaults over nave and side aisles

with smaller vault ceiling to provide stability. Less Sculpture inside, and sometimes frescos on

walls of aisles. Smaller arches on top may have detailed relief or multi-foil shape. (Sacred

Destinations, 2016)

Part II: Design Concept

In honor of the strong Romanesque influence in modern Spain, The Arts Institutes

Nationality Room for Spain will reflect structure and interior design from the pilgrimage route

through Spain. The entry should be ornamented and sculpture as familiar throughout this style.

The familiar arch work supporting large stone structures will be dominant within the room, and

provide architectural focal point of the apse where instruction will occur. Minimal ornaments

will adorn the structure, while frescos will pain an image of the culture during this time. Natural

lighting would come through minimal windows as in the large Cathedrals, and ambient and task

lighting provided by large oil burning lamps. Textile industry being under developed, wooden

seating would be appropriate. Christian Reliquaries and cultural icons should be displayed as in

the Cathedrals along the route to Santiago de Compos.

February 12th, 2016

Part I: Cultural Research: Islam

Within the practice of Islam, there are some very basic traditions that need to be

observed. The Religious scripture for the practice of Islam is the Quran; however, many

traditions were made by the Prophet, and these held fast throughout the community. You will

find some of the basic values are similar to Judaism, being based on Abrahamic traditions, but

should be observed in alignment with the scriptures in the Quran.

First within the Religion are newborn child practices; this includes prayers and blessings

called Adhaan and Iqaamah. Also cleaning and circumcisions. Family Practices are important

and culturally the Religeon should be practiced by all, but Men, Women and Children require

separate facilities for practices. Many large ceremonies are practiced, including Eid al-Adhaa,

Eid al-Fitr, and Ramadhan. Facilities require large open spaces for the gathering of many locals

to the Mosque and pilgrimages. (Amjad, 2000)

In addition to facilitating large numbers of people, particular hygiene rituals are observed

regarding how one keeps all body hair, how one bathes and cleans after using the restroom, and

particular cleaning practices before prayer and religious ceremonies. These areas would likely

require separate male and female quarters. The use of water for hygiene and cleaning ceremonies

is important so facilities and fountains should be throughout. (Amjad, 2000) All spaces typically

have a symmetrical organization leading to the main domed area. Courtyards are commonly
 2

used for external prayer ceremonies with large gatherings and religious holidays. (Mustafa,

2013)

CONCEPT STATEMENT

As a cultural center for Muslims, the Islam Mosque within the Cathedral of Learning

should serve as a stunning representation for followers of Islam within the school and

community. The Mosque should share all of the features of traditional Mosque to suite the

worshipers needs, while providing community and cultural center for members of this

community.

Traditional construction cues will be met with the column and arch work supporting a

central dome. Other features should include a wide area (Sahn) to practice prayer rituals and

space for the caller of the prayer. The Mosque should feature a Mihrab representing the

direction of Mecca to the east, and adequate water fountain for cleansing rituals. Within the

small space there may not be room for separate female facilities, but a partition should provide a

private space for personal needs and practices.

The design should feature a complimentary color scheme with blues and golds, with

cartouche and arabesque designs, depicting religious symbols and scripture throughout.

Traditionally Mosque were lit with large oil lamps and should be ambient lit in a similar manner

with some task lighting for reading of scripture.

Part I: Ethnic Research - Germany

Germans share a lot of cultural influences common throughout Europe. Germany

received many Classical and Romantic influences through the ages and various occupations, to

the Gothic and Renaissance Styles. However, even though much of the cultural influences and

icons exist post World War, much of their modern design and structure can be directly attributed

to the advances in Bahaus, Modern, and International Architecture and Design early in the 20th

Century. These styles represent advances in materials and utilitarian design. These ideals

showed the advances in science and education as well as ideals that socialism represented with

efficiency and an organized society. (Davies, 2011)

The Bahaus was considered at its highpoint when Walter Gropius commissioned the

Bahaus building itself. Other designers such as Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe.

The school boasted advances in modern art and materials, from advances in typography and

textiles, to advanced materials and construction ideas. It is seen in the furniture, the minimalist

and utilitarian ideals. (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2016)

German culture can be said to place high value on organization, whether time or

construction methods, they are about efficiency and quality. This can be seen throughout

engineering and manufacturing business thriving. It can be noted that Germans would judge

each other more on competency and determination, and less value placed on social skills.
 2

Traditionally, the Majority identifies as Christian, and their Gothic Cathedral influence can be

seen throughout design. (Purch, 2016)

For restaurants, it is noted that hearty meat based meals are traditional. Due to the

Christian influences, there are less eating restrictions. Native vegetibles that store well in winter

are common, such as cabbage, beets, and turnips. Beers are popular with many types being

invented in Germany, which can be noted at Oktoberfest and other holidays. (Purch, 2016)

Some social stigmas remain after World War II, however, today Germany presents itself

with some of the socialist pride intact, and making ethical decisions and social changes far

advanced of many other nations. It can be noted that Germany has spread much influence

throughout the World, from Gothic and Renaissance Art and Architecture, though modern

immigrations and trade. (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2016)

BLOCKING DIAGRAM 1

In this plan I hoped to partition the waiting area from dining with a wall or transition space, as well as bring
the restrooms closer to the waiting area and use the back of house more effectively for large storage.
BLOCKING DIAGRAM 2

In this plan I kept the floor plan open so waiting and arriving guests could see and want to be in the dining area.
A waiting area/bar could keep people preoccupied on long waits.
BLOCKING DIAGRAM 3

This pushed the bar into the dining, so that some guests who wished could join and sit at the bar, restrooms
were pushed further away for noise and odor, and waiting is expanded near the entrance.
SCHEMATIC PLANS

Expanding on the third plan we made use of the rooms near the northwest corner to create a corridor to make
entrance from the stairs and this transitional area to push people into the dining area. A bar will be placed on a
non plumbing wall and considerations will have to be made.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Through bubble diagrams and adjacency considerations, it was needed to explore how primarily to
keep restroom sounds and odors away from dining areas, but conserving plumbing wall spaces for
restaurant functions. The 3 diagrams explore this arrangement, while leaving the areas with the
most natural lighting exposure to the dining room.

In trying to maintain some German influence, through the utilitarian styles of Bauhaus and
engineering efficiencies, an open floorplan should suit the restaurant well, and make for great
social gatherings during holidays.

Staff should enter from the northeast corner walking past the bar and guest, they will all have an
opportunity to see hot plates of beautiful food pass, making them wish to order more.

The main floor should feature tables that can reconfigure for festivals, and a performance or
speaking area.
