Program:  Hotel with landscape views on the exterior and interior.  
 This image shows a window that represents looking into a  hotel.
I imagine a grand stair case and a chandelier would represent a hotel concept.

 
Connection:    I decide to use the connection of people all over the world joining at my hotel. As well as, allowing them to connect to nature with landscape and water River across from the site .

Materials: I would like to use Glass, Wood, Concrete, Steel

  1. Your concept of blending the landscape outside-in is something that you have been contemplating and I can understand. Hotel interiors can have a difference to the exterior, and if operated well it can be magical.

    Connection is also good point, but the collage seem to lack the color of the natural green, which you can put some touchups to it. Materials, also because you are emphasizing the greenscapes into the space, shouldn't that also be part of your material palette?

    Collage is not an easy exercise. It's almost like a drawing exercise. The more you put time into it the more you will improve. I will suggest you to keep on working until you believe that what you have been describing is projected on these works.

  2. Isamar,

    There is some disconnect between what you describe and what you depict. If you are talking about merging with the nature using landscape and site, why would you choose an entirely interior focused image to represent your vision. A chandelier and grand staircase is not only a generic and contextless representation, it is also a very banal design. Instead of framing views and invoking experience of grandeur and drama using decorative elements like light fixtures, I would suggest using openings that frame your views to the river and landscape to create the feeling of connecting with nature. Again, I would suggest looking up Geoffrey Bawa hotets in SriLanka.

    Even the materials you have chosen seem to be very contrasting to the "nature" concept that you want to follow. Is this a conscious decision to stand out? Or would you rather let your building merge with the nature and let site dominate the design? Your material selection needs to follow a consistent stand which seems to be lacking in your drawings, collages and visuals.

    Also, your second collage of wanting to connect people of the world is a rather superficial depiction of what you intend to do. I reckon you need more research on how to clearly convey your thoughts through graphics. They need not be overly dramatic. A simple diagrammatic collage could convey more than the overly photoshopped visually chaotic graphic.
