The project concentrates on the different ways that space is traditionally viewed: from a formalism, to indexicality and then the potential of textuality as a new digital organization of repetition, to understand the anxiety regarding the shape of space and the role of surface and its performance. Materiality and ornament are explored in the actualization of the hotel. Development of a material system, employing strategies of modulation, recombination and affects of deformation are combined with an investigation of the traditional French hotel. Searching for irregularities within the typological organization, highlighting specific texts within the index derives an operation that is interpreted as a technique that can be repeated within the hotel reconnecting the specific affected indexes. The textuality emerges by the repetition of the operation, rewriting the hotel, thus resulting in a new morphological condition, possibilities of inhabitation and integration of technologies in design, fabrication and use.
