RCubes Hotel

Project idea

The popularity of any building can be measured by the amount of interaction with people and creating a strong mental image.
As a result of this Viewpoint, we tried to create a section for a direct and unrestricted access to the tower to provide Effective interaction of people with the building .So in addition to the usual hotel users, people in the context can use the tower. For this section , we considered a vertical garden on the top of the tower with exposed structure .
Also To create a strong mental image of the building , we tried to create a suspended sense in the form of building . this sense is provided with 12 cubes that surrounded with diagrid structures And it's connected to the core of the building.
