Movement in Hotels

This study is an observation on how people move around hotels. Chosen case studies are the Love Hotel in Shibuya, the Metropolitan Hotel, London (United Designers), Hotel al Naoshima, Japan (Tadao Ando), Miramar Hotel, Egypt (Michael Graves), Grand Hyatt, Indonesia (Geoffrey Bawa) and the Hotel Puerta America, Madrid (various designers). These hotels were selected because of their different nature and concepts. From these study on movement, I will make series of options for my intervention and see the possibility on how people move around at the ground level and through the hotel.

Hafiz... great clear analysis and some interesting precedents. Could these diagrams be summarised or appraised in relation to your own strategies and ambitions for your own hotel- how might these organisational structures be useful or carried into your own project? How might they relate to their context/ situation/ locality and how does this effect the approaches? thanks- Jonathan
