    About

  2. Restaurant Barrier: Plywood Seating

    Comments Off on Restaurant Barrier: Plywood Seating

    About

    This simple barrier and seating system is made from framing members and plywood. The barriers have the required 18” base but taper to a thinner profile at the top to provide more room inside of the dining area. The barriers are attached to each other and the bases can be weighed down with sandbags or CMUs in the open internal cavity. A pole secured between the units can be used for lighting. Tables are supported on one side by the barriers and on the other side by legs and are spaced the required distance apart. They also have umbrella holes drilled through them so that shading can be provided when desired

    A similar system can be used for a simple wayfinding system that integrates waste collection and menu/map holders. The back of all of the signs would have slots to accept recycling, waste, and possibly food scraps.

    Comments Off on Studio Libeskind

    Studio Libeskind is involved in designing and realizing a diverse array of urban, cultural and commercial projects around the globe.  Our Studio is a collaboration of architects and designers that believe architecture is a practice of optimism. We approach our projects with the attitude that to make great places, you must believe in the future, but also remember the past.

    Studio Libeskind’s architecture emerges from the idea that a building should be expressive and reflect contemporary life. Innovation is at the core of our design process. We believe that bold design must be realized with sustainable technology and we strongly believe that the art of architecture lies in creating a maximum impact within the constraints of budgets and functionality. We know from experience that great architecture comes from working with great clients; however, architecture is a public art and we hold ourselves accountable not only to the client, but to the communities, and cities in which we build.

    Daniel and his partner Nina Libeskind established Studio Daniel Libeskind in Berlin, Germany, in 1989 after winning the competition to build the Jewish Museum Berlin. In February 2003, Studio Daniel Libeskind moved its headquarters from Berlin to New York City when Daniel Libeskind was selected as the master planner for the World Trade Center redevelopment.
