SYMMETRY 

HIERARCHY OF SPACES 

Relatively simple structure. emphases is given to the to the most important spaces, such as entrance  needs more accessible  and it is more important then mechanical room.Therefore, as shown the brighter color is the entrance and as the color gets dull it is the least occupy able and not as important space.

HIERARCHY OF SPACES 

As we can see the hierarchy of spaces are from large  to small spaces, there is a slight color variation depending on the sizes of the rooms i.e. the largest spaces being the darker color and smallest being the lighter. This also indicates how much emphasis is given to a particular room and spaces it requires. For instance, entrance doesn't require as much space as the bedroom.

HIERARCHY OF SPACES 

In this example. we can see that the core and/or the circulation are of this hotel plays a significant role as it combines the spaces to each other as an intermediary space. The circulation I am referring to connects offices, apartments , hotel rooms and commercial spaces, therefore making it the most occupiable space at all times.

The geometry of this structure consists of relatively similar shapes. because the entrance to this place is the only  place where it separates into men's and woman's locker room . the rest of the building is just a big public open space with studios.
