The first image is describing the possibility of shifting and twisting the massing of the hotel in order to capture specific views around the site. This technique is 'borrowed' from MVRDV's Gyre Building in Tokyo, and will be tested against different techniques and processes to refine the potential of manipulating hierarchy, layering and surfaces in the design. The second image is an exploration by slanting the building mass, which is a continuation from the shifting and twisting process. This operation is also speculating the effect of the intervention based on earlier ideas of my design statement. This process will create a visual and physical phenomena for the site and allow the ground level to still function as a garden.

Hafiz- the models look interesting. To extend this speculation can you consider how the building touches the ground, and how existing surfaces, whether public, private, or a mixture of the two, can be accommodated at the lower levels of the intervention(s). Make a seriation of different options to broaden your speculations, and assess them as you have began to do with the sloped version- keep it up! Jonathan
