A Gothic HotelAbstract
Located in downtown Cincinnati across from city hall, our hotel is designed using gothic principles in a contemporary setting. we focused on transparency, articulation, verticality, layering, rotation, and movement. in order to accomplish this, we used a hexagonal base that transforms into a groin vault with a series of traditional gothic openings in between. structural steel and reinforced concrete turrets frame the facade and interior. overall, we are bridging the gap between the then and now. |
Objective
Work in a group to design for a skyscraper in the Cincinnati area based off of the design principals of gothic cathedrals. |
