New Research

For my new idea, I had to look specifically at restaurants from the 1950's. Luckily, my old research can remain useful as Googie architecture was very prominent at this time. Restaurants at this time were usually characterised by a few characteristics.

1. Bright, primary colours

2. White walls

3. Clean

4. Curves

5. Leather

6. Crome metal

7. The kitchen is visible to the customers

8. Neon

So to make it look run down , we would have to break these curves, tone down the colours and dirty up the place.

Here are some of the images I used as inspiration.
