The proposed solution is a structural concept based on the interaction of various facilities (hotel, occupancy, passageways, parking, housing, exhibitions) within the context of urban life and the integration of various interests/ insights within "communal spaces" and "designated spaces". The organisation of inner and outer space provides the possibility for a variety of applications and activities – a concentration of culture and being (like that at the Chelsea Hotel NY ) .
Facilities that allow for meetings, stays, holidays, culture, presentations, allow for joint operations and the erasing of the line between indoor and outdoor spaces. The structure forms a continuous "maze" – an open horizontal and vertical meander of outer and inner space.
The modus of architectural education, the freeing of trains of thought and the development of work through sketches, planar and spatial representations (models and simulations), verification through affirmative doubt, alongside considerations and founded arguments were investigated by students working together in groups. This is a continuation of ongoing deliberations and attempts at preserving the character of the workshop, addressing atypical functions, morphological and typological challenges and contextual relationships, actions and reactions through a creative process, the designing of complex spatial relationships and multiple "reflections".
