My Pub '84 concept project - Royal College of Art 1964. Awarded Silver Medal
This model was made 1/3rd full size out of fibrous plaster. All drink and food are ordered with credit cards (not in distribution yet) at one of three service stations at the end of the three arms. They arrive in prepacked containers and when finished these containers are thrown underneath the seating to be sucked back to be re-cycled. The design was inspired by the Lampson tube sytsem used in large department stores.
