Hao Zhuang

This project starts from a sensory study of Chronoception, the perception of time, from which I abstract my concept, Fiction and strategy, Plot for this semester. Following the concept and strategy, I designed a shampoo bottle for a hotel room featured with by a Kaleidoscope. During this semester, I also design a Travel Wallet inspired by Origami technique, with infinite flapping in a loop. The design of this wallet inspired my hotel design later

For the Hotel design project, in order to achieve a hotel of Fiction, inspired by video game map design and some interactive play like Sleep no more, I generated a set of goals and rules to create a circulation that encourage explore and discover, which make the guest within the hotel like  a character in a story or video game, and how them discover the space determinates their story.

Another design exercise is the interior design. We were assigned a room from each other to design the room for them. Similar to my hotel, I designed a room with zigzagging circulation to create an experience of explore within the room.
