The diagrams illustrate the architectural evolution of a student accommodation building from 2010 to the present day.
Overall, the current layout reflects significant alterations, particularly regarding the allocation of space and the introduction of new facilities.
In the 2010 arrangement, the main components consisted of a spacious living room situated in the upper left corner, coupled with a centralized bathroom for communal use. The kitchen was located in the upper right area, while the bedrooms were distributed across three distinct locations: one in the upper center and two others situated in the lower left and lower right segments. This configuration afforded students a designated living space, shared kitchen, and essential bathroom facilities, fostering a sense of community.
In comparison, the current layout has undergone notable transformations. The upper section is now exclusively occupied by three student bedrooms, which likely enhances privacy. The bathroom remains centrally located, whereas the previous kitchen has been repurposed into a combined ‘Kitchen/Social area,’ suggesting a shift towards a more communal living experience. Additionally, the lower center now features an ‘En-suite room,’ providing greater convenience, alongside a newly introduced ‘Car parking’ area which has replaced the former garden, indicating a shift in priorities that cater to modern student needs.
