Final Facades Continued of Utopian Hotel


The development of the curve shape on the top left hand side of this image was taken on rhino. Development is from right to left. Inspiration came from falling raindrops and leaves merged together.    

Merging of leaf and falling raindrop used with the pipe on grasshopper. 

After exporting it on to 3ds max, i started to define the spaces in my structure whilst maintaining an organic shape through interweaving like a DNA structure.   

And then we imported it to second life, and from there we copied and pasted separate elements beside each other in order to have repetitions.    

Spaces are defined by colors and glows. The color yellow shows where in-habitation of visitors takes place. The glow indicates soft delicate movements of the leaf like-raindrop structure. So as to continue the wind rippling through the sea towards the hotel facade rippling the glowing structures. 



Different Views of the facade. All the snapshots are taken in midnight view as this is when i think the hotel is in most use, as visitors would be out during the day.  

Concept for this first design:

  • Alludes to leaves (from our last staircase design), relates to the idea of "land".
  • Also alludes to the shape of wings, links to the idea of freedom. (same as the design 1.)
  • disorder, pointing towards different direction, chaos within a constraint
  • emphasis on the variety of directions as well as the sharpness of the leave shape.
