The Big Top proposes to encapsulate different activities in one fluid structure. There are four sections to the curved form and each applies to a cafeteria’s specific occupancy, similar to a circus tent where multiple activities occur under “The Big Top.” The kitchen holds the center base point, and is where everyone comes to at least once during the day. The kitchen area is tall, separating the fire from the thatch and guaranteeing good ventilation When the students enter at the center of the structure, the campus population will notice how every part of the whole originates from the kitchen: from the poured earth foundation counters to the individual bamboo members being lashed together with rope. The bamboo weave laid out vertically and horizontally it creates the roof and supports a thatch surface providing space for the user to relax on the thatch. With the use of a lightweight thatch mesh network and bamboo support system the slung overhang provides shade for the relaxed users. The Big Top will be a must for eating and relaxing during the hot and rainy days during the school year.
