ASSIGNMENT 2- Building Typologies

1.      Which building typology you are researching?

I am researching Spa resorts and hotels 

 

2.      Why are you researching this building typology?

I am researching Spa resorts because I want to incorporate some ideas in my building such as: structure design , interior spaces , circulation .

3.      What is the specialty of this building type you would like to research i.e.   museum for dance, school for digital media…

I would like to find distinct and unique structures with a strong sense of identity and character. These should have a highly expressive, sculptural quality, infused with a sense of light and space. Light and views should be the driving forces of the structures. 

4.      What are the examples that you will be researching… list the examples, location and architect  (10 examples)
