CHAPTER ONE:
INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
STATEMENT OF ARCHITECTURAL PROBLEMS.
A
hotel can be said to wear two faces. The paying customer sees only the
“front of the complex†and this must be all he desires- a wish
fulfillment, an ago blinder, a status symbol and the promise of great
delight.
The “back of the hotel complex “is all that makes things
happen. These include the kitchens, stores, service, etc. this area must
be laid out with two paramount objectives: control and efficiency.
Control is important because pilfering is a real danger while
inefficiency results in time wastage and reduction in productivity.
When
a guest enters the hotel lobby, he should be over whelmed by a feeling
of serenity or enchantment or revulsion,- but never confusion. The
registration desk for instance and the elevators should be immediately
apparent. The main administrative area usually backs up to the desk. The
restaurants, bars and other such spaces should be either visible from
or well indicated in the lobby area.,
I .the exploitation of the site configuration and characteristics in the location of facilities
Circulation (vertical and horizontal), Ie. The problem created by the different directional movements.
iii.
The architecture of the proposed hotel complex must be attractive. The
design elements must inspire and evoke feelings among the guests.
