It offsets from a competition brief from Arquitectum regarding a hostel
and museum design in the Citadel of Tikal. The design proposal
promotes the discussion of ideas related to the development of projects
in cultural heritage sites, enhancing the visitors experience
and introduces a new and different way of what is to spend a night
and wake up in presence of the Maya ruins in Tikal.
The project consists of two booklets, one presentation folder and one
appendix folder. The presentation folder consists of four parts: The
assignment, understanding, investigating and presentation. While the
appendix folder presents detailed material, knowledge and process
produced through the project period.
The design proposal can be understood by only reading the presentation
folder but we recommend looking into the appendix folder when
referenced. It will explain a more thorough understanding of the
design process.
