A Boutique Hotel on the Wellington Waterfront

The preliminary idea came from the notion that a hotel is a “machine” where memories are made. As such, the project explores the components that house them by adaptively reusing an existing building on the Wellington waterfront.

The project stems from Noetic Science’s principle that a thought has mass. The design investigates a physical process in which memories may be collected and sorted. 

The result is a static interpretation of the kinetic.

“The starships of the future exploring the high frontier of the unknown will be syntactical — the engineers of the future will be poets. This is what virtual reality holds out to us — the possibility of walking in to the constructs of the imagination.”  Terence McKenna
