Hotel Of Strangers
Shelter is one of the most basic of human needs. A mere
shelter though, once adorned by man becomes a home.
A place that one returns to each day. The concept of
a fixed place of existence is changing even in global
society today, with the rise of Airbnb type mobility,
never really setting down root. The Hotel of Strangers
provides shelter and the necessities of human life, but
for a limited time only. Refugium is in a constant state
of flux and so too should its inhabitants be.
Collective Activities
As described this is the central Nave of the structure
where anything can happen. Arriving from difficulty and
disaster, the narrative of ones life is inverted. The basics
of survival and life are taken care of, so the true ludic
expression of peoples imagination can come to fruition
Pedestrian Movement
Refugium is based around the unhindered movement
of its inhabitants. The central catwalk provides an uninterrupted
line of continuous movement while auxiliary
walk ways give rise to secondary axis of movement. The
escalator plays an important role in the movement of
people through Refugium, orchestrating ones ability to
navigate the space, thus constantly evolving the users
experience of it.

Based on existing rail networks, Refugium would
replace these antiquated structures with a system
of high speed rail networks, helping its inhabitants
travel long distances in short amounts of time and also
serving global interest, creating a super fast land based
network of trade.

This initial spine serves as a tool to help with the construction
of Refugium but will be returned to dust once
its efficacy has run its course.

Refugiums simple and unadorned structure allows for
the maximum functionality within its confines. At the
same time it provides a high possibility of adaptability
and flexibility to the structure itself.
