Initial site analyse

space analyse of Old Market Square

According to our project, our cafe will put in Old Market Square,so we research this square.I go to there during a  weekends market ,then I found  the  weekends market or activity  normally hold in the pink square,because this area is flat,it can easy to use.So I prefer put cafe in the pink area as well.

In the beginning,I want put the cafe in B，because B close the cross of the road,many people can passing this area.But after my analyse, B only has this advantage,B does not has a good environment to let people sit and enjoy coffee.C has the similar advantage, C in a exit of this area and close the fountain,but I notice many people just passing through C,compare with B ,C does not has many people to go to there.After my analyse, I prefer put initial site in A,because A meet two  conditions.Firstly, A near two main roads and close to tram station ,which has many people flow, and  one important  thing is A close to fountain. I found many people sit down around fountain.If this area has a cafe ，people can drink a cup of coffee and enjoy fountain view at the same time.It will be better than people just sit around fountain.So I prefer put cafe on A .

According to the dimensions of cafe,it is a very small space,so what functions should  contain.I think this cafe should contain three main areas,kitchen area,customer area and outdoor area,and I should design how to transport at the same time.
