here are some pictures of the existing rock 'n' bowl.
the biggest challenge of this project:
rock 'n' bowl has been around for decades; the business is an icon in new orleans. the patrons love rock 'n' bowl just for what it is. therefore, i don't want to create a totally different, modernized look. on the other hand, i do not want to recreate the existing rock 'n' bowl. it is very difficult to effectively recreate a space that has been around for 68 years, building up charm. going either of these routes can risk recieving negative feedback.
ways to work through this challenge:
i am still figuring this out. maybe i need to create a questionaire, asking people what they think of when they think of rock 'n' bowl, what elements of the interior stand out in their mind, what they think could use improvement, etc. i could use these feedback to let me know what people find important, and implement these things into my design.
creating a healthy balance of elements of the past rock 'n' bowl and elements of modernized bowling alleys will be key in a successful project. this will come through in my space planning, architectural pieces, technological elements, and finish selections.
