Jenny: Prelimiary Ideas/Designs for Dystopia Hotel

 We want to base our dystopia hotel on geometry/shapes and mechanic systems. We will focus on giving expression to various dense materials such as concrete, plaster, stone for our hotel to 'weigh' it down.

The dystopia building will be based on the early 20th century and the awake of modernist architecture. We want to demonstrate the architecture that was adopted for the industrial age and mass production.

 John Hancock's building (left) is something that we'd like to incorporate into our hotel. It gives a lot of expression to structure - using two systems rather than one. It feels very rigid/stiff and solid. I like the exterior use of colour and the enclosure of the  building.



 Taipei's performing arts center is really intriguing. The four sides of the building act as columns that raise the the center but are actually functional interior spaces. Open space has been given to the center as well which allows for people to pass through or congregate. The repetition of the square is one of the key elements of this building.
