Group 22
CUP OF HOPE

We are going to focus on re-designing and re-branding an existing café that will serve as an inclusive and accessible space, to welcome a multi-generational clientele. The Café is located in the New Covenant Church in Levenshulme and is integrated into the local community, serving as a linchpin where people meet and socialize. Cup of hope proposes that the re-design and re-branding of the café will help it to improve its local outreach and meet more people with its message of hope. Skills To represent our design intent for the interior space we want the students to create a 1:10 physical model. They will develop physical modeling techniques and digital modeling techniques incorporating an introduction to 3D printing. The students will also experiment with graphic design and participate in exercises in order to rebrand the café.

The Cup of hope project is located in an old building in Levenshulme, Manchester. The building is furnished with old furniture and is quite cramped. A new design for these spaces is something that is needed.
