Synopsis

Food courts originated in the United Stated in the 1970's and their popularity has spread across the world. They are especially popular in the Far East. Until recently most food courts looked like they might have taken style pointes from their counterparts at schools, prisons or military barracks leading to a stigma of cheap furniture and the same old tenants. Today there is much more emphasis on design elements whilst still ensuring functionality. This book looks at all aspects of design including 18 detailed examples in full colour with accompanying diagrams.
