Developing ideas

We were asked to pick out objects and observe them in multiple ways and perspectives for week two. This was to enhance our ideas critically and creatively for our project. Then, work with chosen objects and draw various ways to include them in our project.

I choose the object above because of its attractive shape. The object is a wooden nutcracker. I did not know this before, and it reminds me of a hut from the move Smurfs. I then drew multiple ways that the object can be. Some examples are a Tank from the 1800s or a bottle that contains some sort of liquid. The object has smooth and curved surfaces, with a screwable part at the top of it. This object also reminds me of a mushroom. When I looked at my object, I saw it could be used as an entrance or a balcony for my project. Furthermore, The texture of my project can be smooth and curvy, inspired by the Nutcracker.

This object also reminds me of The Metropol Parasol, Seville, a city in Spain. The structure's design is known locally as "poisonous mushrooms"(Curtis, W.J., 2020). The organic shape of the structure is similar to the object I had chosen. I can design the structure identical to the Nutcracker and The Metropol Parasol, with the same design revolving around mushrooms.

Research on the National Flower Of United Arab Emirates

For this post, I will share my research about the national flower of The United Arab Emirates, the Tribulus Omannense. I will create a boutique hotel in Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai, for my project. I will symbolise the country with the nation's flower, Tribulus Omannense. Since a boutique hotel is targeted at travellers, the concept of my hotel is inspired by the flower. Tribulus Omanense is a small flowering plant in the Zygophyllaceae family. Its delicate, yellow flowers have five petals and a distinct, spiky appearance (Anne, A. 2023). The flower is suitable for creating a hotel because of its simplicity, and it is easy to divide the rooms for the hotel. Since it has five petals, I made each petal a section for the hotel, for example, a lobby section and the rest of the rooms for each petal. Each petal will be enough to fit two hotel rooms. Although the number of rooms in my boutique hotel will be small, this will ensure a more personalised service to the customers, and the h...

WEEK SIX: Contacts

This is my contact page where you can reach out to me. I have listed the location of my workplace, which is the Art Factory. As I haven't decided whether to add my phone number or not, I have included a random number for now. You can contact me through my email address, and my website links such as Blogger and Instagram are also provided. This page which contains my contacts is a new page that I did and a button that leads to the page. The image above is a lightbox that I added at the very bottom of all of my pages.

Research on boutique hotel (Edited)

This post will be about my research on boutique hotels. The simplest definition of a boutique hotel is “a small, sophisticated, and fashionable business or establishment“. (Giulietta, 2024) Boutique hotels are mainly for people who travel for a short time and want a personalised experience during their stay. The boutique hotel interests me because of its size and the difference in experience compared to a typical hotel. The main reason behind this is that boutique hotels have better quality control, ensuring the guest experiences a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in these hotels' design makes them unique. Boutique hotels are usually made to be one-of-a-kind (WOOLF, 2023) and with that being stylish and trendy. Their designs are more towards elegance and luxury, but the prices are still reasonable. This is suitable for my project as the location for it is in Dubai. A developing country where there are a lot of travellers and tourists passing through. Also, Dubai is known f...
