Call for ideas 2016

My vision is an architecture that is emerging from its surrounding. The project is a hotel that is spread over five buildings in a small alpine town.

The idea of a decentral building breaks the paradigma of huge structures. Especially in tourism the buildings often blow the scale of the surrounding.

This hotel of my vision still hosts 150 people and can therefore be economically sucessfull. But the buildings reflect the scale of the neighbours and are integrative parts of the town.

The facilities for guests are spread over five buildings that can be reached by foot. So the guests are animated to leave their building and be part of the social life. Therefore interactions with local people are engaged and a very desired cutural interaction can happen.
