RAKŪ ラク-Ramen and Dumplings- Restaurant Interior 3RD YEAR BS ARCH_3C | ARCHITECTURAL INTERIORS PROJECT OVERVIEW The students are tasked to design a commercial interior space in an existing commercial unit in Ayala malls Capitol, Level 2 in Bacolod, Negros Occidental. They have the freedom to choose what cuisine and architectural style to use. BRAND NAMING AND CONCEPT The word RAKŪ (ラク)by definition, is a kind of lead-glazed Japanese earthenware, typically irregular in shape and used especially for the tea ceremony. It also means “fun, delightful” in Kanji. “Raku” is a fitting word for the concept as it means Japanese art pottery (a bowl) and brings delight. The same thing you feel when you enjoy a bowl of ramen on a cold evening after an exhausting work.
