DÉCLIC WEDNESDAY INSPIRATIONS \\ MORPHEUS HOTEL, MACAU⠀⠀
Three holes punctuate the twisting geometric facade of the Morpheus hotel in Macau, China, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. According to ZHA, the building is the "world's first free-form high-rise exoskeleton", with its structural geometric grid negating the need for internal walls or columns that would clutter the hotel's interior.⠀
"Morpheus combines its optimal arrangement with structural integrity and sculptural form," said Viviana Muscettola, ZHA's project director. "The design is intriguing as it makes no reference to traditional architectural typologies."⠀
Voids carved into the rectangular block form windows that frame views of the city in a design that was, according to the architects, informed by traditional Chinese jade carving techniques that produce fluid forms from hard minerals.⠀
