The document proposes a construction project along the lakeside promenade at Taylor's University campus. The project would include building a wooden deck extension, installing five food kiosks housed in recycled shipping containers, and adding landscaping elements like benches, tables and greenery. The kiosks would sell organic, healthy snacks and drinks. Named "Pomegranate", the goal is to promote wellness while enhancing the promenade as a relaxing space. Diagrams and drawings visualize the layout and design intended to be in harmony with the natural surroundings.

2. INTRODUCTION
The final project for Introduction to the Construction Industry marks the end of the module
and the subject. Starting off with the brief, the FNBE students were also given a short
explanation on the nature of the assignment.
In a group of 2 students, we need to find a specific land within campus area to initiate a small
construction project of 30 times 30 metres that serves either one of the following purposes:
 Recreation area
 Study Enhancement Area
 Rest area
 Food and beverage (dining area)
 Commercial area (exclude food and beverage)
Following on that, we need to study and prepare the following types of building development,
fulfilling requirements such as suggestion, rationale, benefits, site analysis, evaluation and the
needs of the project to the client and to the community. This assignment will be graded based
on a 20 page A4 report.
Rozanna and I paired up as partners for this assignment. The themes were given randomly
and our group received Food and Beverage as our construction theme.
To start off, we had small brainstorming sessions and discussions besides trips to potential
sites within campus. However, we both agreed on the best location for our construction
project. Then, we delegated research topics individually and come together for weekly
progress as a group. We achieved our aims as the deadline of the project drew closer but still
provide room to develop ideas along the way.

3. SITE ANALYSIS
The Lake in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus is an identity and core feature of the
campus, and is known for it. A concrete promenade or walking path complete with canopy
umbrellas and seating make for rest area, simply functioning for students and staff to get from
one block to another, or to simply lounge by the lake to enjoy the scenery and bask in the
natural feels of the natural environment. As the topic of our construction project is on food
and beverage, we plan to carry out the actual project along the promenade as zoned in green
above. We decided to base our project on this specific site because it has great potential to
develop into an attractive food hub as it has the space for these activities, besides being next
to the lake which is one of the main attractions for social activities in the campus.

6. CONCEPT
Given that our topic is Food and Beverage, we explored a variety of possible ideas and
concepts that could be incorporated into this construction project. Thanks to internet research,
we found an array of very viable and justifiable options to select from. The combination of
the following concepts form a complete and possible project
 Food Kiosks
Food kiosks are a smaller-scale,
faster and more efficient
version of built-in shops or
restaurants. Usually seen in
malls, at events and public spaces,
these miniature stalls produce
snacks and small bites for public.
 Container spaces
Containers are a new trend for small enterprises and businesses. Stylish and edgy, the
metal outlook and geometric shape of a container ‘box’ create a small space and room for
activities. Besides radiating the message of using recyclable materials, the physical
structure is also space and money saving.
 Farmer’s Market concept

7. The concept of farmer markets is a physical retail market featuring foods sold directly by
farmers to consumers. Farmers' markets exist worldwide and reflect their local culture
and economy. The core idea of this type of market is that organic food supplies, brought
straight from the farm, is being traded directly with consumers.
In this era, more unnatural food and beverage is being overproduced, causing dire health
consequences on the people. This can be seen on campus itself, where insufficient fresh
fruit and vegetable as a daily consumption is minimum and instead replaced with
manufactured food supplies and quick snacks.
Demolishing that idea, we propose to introduce the idea of quickly-prepared bites and
beverages made only from organically-grown food.

 Promenade
Taking inspiration from the Promenade Samuel-De Champlain in Quebec, a contemporary,
polished look is a major feature of this construction project. Beige coloured wood and
straight angles give a clean look whereas minimalistic and native softscape complements it
perfectly.

8. MAIN IDEA
The concepts extracted from the existing projects above form a whole new idea for our food
and beverage themed construction project.
Our main project: A built extension as a means for more space to create more lounging and
activity areas. A row of food kiosks built on the existing concrete promenade, creating a zone
for food and beverage trade. Lastly, to improve on the existing softscape and hardscape and
further enhance the attractiveness and effectiveness of the lakeside promenade as a ‘chilling
out’ zone by constructing more people-friendly facilities.
Below is a list of our details on the construction project as a whole
1) Pomegranate, Our Promenade.
One of the oldest known fruits, found in writings and
artefacts of many cultures and religions, the
pomegranate (punica granatum) is an original native of
Persia. This nutrient dense, antioxidant rich fruit has
been revered as a symbol of health, fertility and eternal
life. Pomegranate is proven to inhibit breast cancer,
prostate cancer, colon cancer, leukaemia and to prevent vascular changes that promote
tumour growth, besides improving symptoms of depression and increasing bone mass
in lab animals.
Combining the words promenade and pomegranate, the word Pomegranate is created.
Selecting this name for our construction project is due to many reasons, mainly, its
major health benefit which is to retain youth and health. This is what Pomegranate is
meant to reflect on: the vitality and life of the campus society, by further promoting
Simplicity and
strength is expressed

the youthful personality of the campus and its inhabitants, being the inspiration of the
colour scheme of the container food kiosk and its design.
2) Wooden deck extension
In our proposal, we plan to build an extension from the concrete walkway towards the
lake. This extra space allows more room for walking circulation and also for visitors
to lounge along the lake while eating the food bought from the stalls and interacting
among one another.
3) Food kiosks
Five small food kiosks selling organically-grown and made food. These food kiosks
have a united outlook to radiate a united identity that is they are literally housed in
recycled, steel shipping containers. Besides that, these containers have the same size,
shape, colour and design – a sort of simplistic and chic themed hue, to match the
surroundings and facilities of the renowned campus.
The food and beverage sold and served by the kiosks are certified organic which gives
the meaning of naturally grown and processed food. Each kiosk should present a
menu in its range of specialties, such as a fruit juices and organic salads. Healthy and
homemade recipes will go into the preparation of these simple bites, snacks and small
meals with the main purpose of reminding all at campus about the vitality of a little
‘nature food’, paired with relaxing views, sights and sound right beside the lake.
4) Constructing a purposeful overall landscape
To cater the potential crowd attracted to the food from the kiosks, sitting places are
necessary, especially being right next to the lake. Simple street furniture like benches
and tables should be brought in and placed at strategic spots at the site, avoiding the
direct glare of the sun, paired with proper rain protection. Designed with the same
intention, these hardscapes are constructed using the same material and structure, also
to match the kiosks and wooden deck. Not only that, suitable softscapes such as small
trees and shrubs should also be cultivated all around the area to provide a touch of
greenery and slight shading.

14. In a nutshell, the food and beverage line is a booming sector filled with endless possibilities
and a broad future, just waiting to be discovered and ventured. As a large campus, serving
many different schools and courses, the increasing student population in turn, increases the
demand for food source. And there is no better option than to promote sustainable design,
organic foodstuff and nature all at the same time for the goodness and benefit of all.
