The cell form is quite interesting in the fact that it has a thin barrier and an unfixed form. We can interpret an image of a cell as a plan (like the one above) where the little systems inside the cell could be an arrangement of furniture or household objects.
For both hotels, we are quite interested in stripping back to the fundamental building blocks of their respective backgrounds. The utopia hotel will be based on a cell or membrane from a living organism, where as the dystopia will be focused on geometries and industrial mechanisms.
We will also focus our utopia hotel to be more of a horizontal structure than vertical to emphasize the organic system of the cell.

This fabrication above will also be used in our design. The irregularities in the fabrication are quite nice to show the a formation of natural/organic systems. It also gives a structural quality to the piece as it arches and bridges together to connect as a whole system. It is also quite porous, hinting at the idea of the system being breathable and needing air to circulate in an out of the material - almost as if it is alive.
