Function Designed.

After playing around with ideas of movable walkways I resulted with the concept of tube walkways (non-movable). Essentially, the need for such technology as moving walkways in a compact capsule hotel, is unnecessary. Access would be difficult in such environments. I am however, considering the implementation of advanced digital technologies as a guidance tools in the tube walkways. 

The function acts as the core structure to build off of. Pods to grow from.. and over time these walkways can repeat over several levels.. and grow on top of buildings etc..


START and END. The journey of entering one end of the lane and existing the other.

3 different types of movements and speed (TIME) are developed. The hotel walkway, the ground laneway, and the underground Ikea Showroom, all create their own sense of movement for various types of people - the traveller/local rester, the business person travelling to work, and the shopper.
