HOSPITALITY ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

Hospitality architecture deals with the users coming to the building for entertainment, luxury and for their more permanent provided service. It has one main and sub programs which complement the main program. Hospitality is about providing an experience by showcasing the surrounding landscape within the exiting perimeter of the building, making it more exclusive. This has resulted in hospitality to become an isolated entity in itself. This thesis looks into redefining and extending the boundaries of hospitality and finding a balance between exclusivity and inclusivity. For a program to be successful in an urban fabric it needs to fulfil one these two requirements. One, there is a need and it fulfils it or second, it creates a need and generate programs to fulfil it. I am interested in the combination of these two. For that I propose sharing of sub program between the main programs with the surround context rather having the similar sub program in both areas. This would result in the development of a symbiotic relationship with the present urban fabric and extending the experience of the building outside to the immediate surroundings. With this approach, the program would be fulfilling the need as well as redeveloping or regenerate the immediate context as well. The site will play a major role in the decision of the program as it needs to have raw materials to showcase as well the present urban fabric which requires the attention and which will be able to provide the sub programs.
