Six floating platforms are connected by cables and four columns making the structure of the building. These platforms have different hight, functions and are intersected by moving capsules. “Capsula” is a room for the first meeting with a partner, who was met in a virtual world (chat, etc.). It is a personal elevator that connects the ground to the top, where there is a special platform to park the capsula and gain access to the public spaces.

Phase II Final Presentation

H_explorer concept provides :
•Flexible and innovative design that adjusts to every city and its needs.
•A fixed space assigned to each carpsule that completes the room of your choice.
•Space to plug your carpsule while you are exploring the city (pit-stop).
•Solar energy harvesting and free distribution back to the city.
•Solar powered and fully automated “Carpsules”, each one producing 20 times more energy than it needs.
•Specially designed I-plug points integrated in comfortable public spaces with plugging points for every electric device
•100% self-sufficient, green hotels, that do not burden the city or the enviroment.
•Freedom of luxury, space and comfort through movement.
With the help of grasshopper we regulated the size and distribution of the fractal parts that would become the rooms as well as the regulation of the central part that would accommodate the common spaces and facilities.
In the same fractal concept the shape of the pit-stop is redefined in a more enclosed shape that tries to implement the concept of car designing into the architecture of the building
