Design Idea Questions

1. Which building typology are you researching? 

I decided to go the hospitality route and design a nightclub/lounge/restaurant.


2. Why are you researching this building typology?

I'm researching this because, I love music, particularly electronic music and there are fantastic venues around the world, but New York lacks in this area. The type of venues we have here are much smaller, underground, bar type clubs. I want to make one built for every type of situation.. It would be more than just a nightclub for dancing. It would be more of an entertainment complex, but music would be the focal point.

3. What is the specialty of this building type you would like to research?

Well depending on the spacial limitations I would like to make an epic, large scale dance venue. With a restaurant, lounge and other spaces that would accommodate different party sizes.

 4. What are the examples that you will be researching? 

There are literally thousands of clubs that cover the globe. To narrow it down would be difficult. If I were to pic 10 these would be it.

ABC Nightclub - Glasgow, UK


BED Supperclub - Tokyo, Japan
BED Supperclub Exterior - Tokyo, Japan
Club Cielo - New York City
