Lightouse Sea Hotel, Young Architects competition - Uma linha sinuosa

Abstract

This dissertation sets to develop a project for a hotel complex in Murro di Porco, in Sicily. Its totality, is based upon a reflection on some project themes considered more relevant. These are integrated on a structure which obeys to three fundamental vectors, both for the construction of the object as for the elaboration of the present thesis, namely the Topos, Typos and Tectonic. This three spheres outline a working logic. Beyond this more analytic variant, there is a presence of a more intimate conduct that reveals itself as a synthesis of the knowledge acquired during the graduation, a personal incursion on work process and method. At last, the subject of the dissertation evolves in purpose and in drawing, culminating in the presentation off the final proposal. Thereby the reader is invited to follow our reflexive journey.
