Development of spaces for the Utopian hotel

At first i was considering 6 compartments into three distinct spaces but it looked too clumsy so i decided to separate each space instead. We are considering these for the rooms as they are quite enclosed for privacy.

I attempted to use the same shapes as the rooms in the circular area and rotate it in the same manner as a clover leaf, but i realized that the space created by the facade was not used up efficiently when the clover-like shapes were incorporated.

So instead i made two open levels inside that area, as i already have plenty of closed spaces and keeping open areas corresponds better to the idea of utopia. Three more open levels were then made on the other side of the hotel. The next four images are a anti-clockwise rotation of the hotel.

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.

Hotel Facade Video

The key to this video is to squint your eyes. We have intentionally blurred the journey between our two facades, as it conveys the idea of the blurred line between utopia and dystopia- something that we have incorporated into each of our facades.

More Transmaterial.

FINAL FACADES!!

Elementary Shape/Geometry for Weaving.

Design 1

This is going to be the entrance to the seascape (one of our hotel will be at the shore providing sea view).

Part one - The Shelter

Part Two - The Tunnel of Entrance

Using the Diamond geometry pattern into the surface

More linear Look

Cantilever/ Shelter in Rhino.

Start to Build in SL. (shelter installed)

Final Solution in Second Life!!!!!!!!!!!! (Please click on the images to view them on a larger scale!)

Night View

Side View at Night

At the entrance.

Walking inside

Experience of internal space

Daytime View!

Walking from the entrance

Walking out to the other end of the tunnel.

On the other end of the entrance tunnel, our avatar can see this brilliant seascape!!!

Initial Concepts

Our initial concept of this pattern design is about "self-contradiction".

For one of the structure, we intend to create a curly and wavy outline with the sharpened repeating pattern within it. (which is sharpness inside sleekness)

Just some experimentation as we trying out different possibilities:

inputting into 3dsMAX

Whereas for the other one, we will create an orthogonal and sharp outline. And within the plane, the patterns are dynamic and asymmetrical curls. (sleekness inside sharpness)
