_identifying potential meeting spaces: an eating place

an eating place

what kind of eating place? 

a space where people can go to meet and talk, possibly only a limited amount?

a limit on how many people are in the space, not to cause feelings of being uncomfortable,

and a limit on how long they can meet?

what would be needed for this meeting space? 

x Tables

x Chairs 

x Lighting

x Something to eat/consume

x Guidelines?

Or maybe only just one of these, or all of these?

_identifying potential meeting spaces: a shared interest space

people often share common interests, and regularly meet to spend time together 

around these common interests 

for example

x Games

x Crafting

x Discussion  

x Watching

x Listening 

x Drawing

x Etc

this meeting space would be somewhere where these interests could be shared, ideas discussed etc. 

it would need to be accessible to a range of people and contexts, or (potentially) just a specific group? 

developing...
