SYNOPSIS OF THESIS

TOPIC
FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE

INTRODUCTION:

Family Entertainment Centre (FEC) can be defined as family-oriented


entertainment destinations. These centres combine shopping and recreation
with entertainment to form an overall experience. Retail needs
entertainment to draw people in and entertainment needs retail to support
the overall operation.
FECs are created on the fundamental of partnership between retail and
entertainment. Combinations of this partnership provide variations of FECs
which can be adopted depending on the culture and heritage of the city.

HISTORY:
FECs are essentially a converged outgrowth of theme
restaurants that increasingly developed their in-house amusement features, small-scale
amusement parks needing more offerings than just a few rides and midway games, and
diversifying formerly one-attraction venues (water parks, skate parks, billiard
halls, bowling alleys, and so on). All three categories have moved over several decades
continually toward stock, popular entertainment solutions supplied by third-party
vendors. Among the earliest of the themed restaurants to become known more for
family entertainment than food was Chuck E. Cheese's, a pizza restaurant founded in
1977 in San Jose, California.
Project idea:

In order to provide better entertainment and shopping


facilities to tourists (both domestic and foreign) in vijayawada,
it was suggested that an integrated system such as an Family

Entertainment Center (FEC) should be developed in major


cities . The citie have reasonable shopping and entertainment
facilities like amusement parks etc. However, there is no
integrated centre where the visitors can take the advantage of
entertainment as well as retail shopping.
The facilities envisaged to be provided to the visitors of the
FECs are retail stores, theme/amusement parks, multiplexes,
restaurants etc. In addition to these facilities which may be
common to all FECs, city/district specific components may also
be added .
Characteristics:

The goal of a FEC for a city or developer is, perhaps, to


create tax revenue, or to sell food, or merchandise, but for
the visitor the overriding concept is to have fun.
Entertainment is the draw and a large part of what creates
the unique experience of the centre.
A FEC has to be created as a centre with the right balance of
retail and entertainment. If the centre contained too much
retail it read to the visitor as an ordinary shopping mall,
conversely, if there were too many entertainment options
people forget to make purchases.
AIM:
To design a family entertainment centre for vijayawada near
amaravathi ,the new capital of andhra pradesh which is in a track
to development and also in a proposal in vijayawada which is
named as city square.

etc
It is even be considered to be the part of the market for some of the
goods and services being produced in the parent city.

spaces.

better development and it is in a need to have a new trend in construction
projects and also a wide scope to provide recreational zone as well as
commercial zone for the city.
