Project 2 - Supper Club

Started this project by researching what in actual fact a supper club was.
-place to dine and be entertained
-visually active -lighting/performances/food/themes/materials
-all about creating a unique experience for the visitor
-generally a surprise/adventure once inside the premisis
-materials and lighting play a major role in how the space affects the viewer, how it entertains them, how it affects their senses, moods and the way people will act in the space.
-the clubs seem to have very specific themes or target audiences they want to attract or portray
for example the San Francisco supper club targets the more alternative people in society such as drag queens/transvestites/gay/lesbian/circus etc. all the themed night revolve around things that the 'norm' in society wouldnt really accept as such. It is not conservative in any way, very up front and in your face which creates a scene that people are intrigued by and want to experience. The club also focuses on highly effective lighting situations as well as space layout with the main area in the central room, therefore people are lead through the building by layers going through bars and other spaces eventually getting the the centre where all the performances are located as well as the dining on large roman style beds instead of standard dining table situations.
