The Sansusī festival combines rock festival atmosphere and excitement with classical chamber music. The festival’s organisers are ready to build a sustainable food court that will not only meet visitors’ demands but also perfectly encapsulate the distinctive essence of the event.
The Competition
The Sansusī Forest Food Court competition is being run in partnership with the festival, tasking architects and designers to design a food court that would serve as the centre point of the festival. The food court would have to accommodate three caterers, each of which would need to have a space of 3x3m to work in.
Competition Programme
- 3x caterer’s workspaces (3x3m)
- Eating zone/s (solutions for sitting and eating)
- Small storage space for caterers
The Building Programme is flexible, open to modifications and improved development strategies.
