Dynamic Seismic Hotel

Technical Sheet
 
Project: New build Seismic loading inhabitable structures series
Client: Gao Investment/China Film House, Beijing
Architect: Margot Krasojevic Ph.D
Ongoing project, research/ prototype seismic foundation frame
1. COMPOSITE CARBON FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMER SHELL. Elite Carbon Fibre manufacturers, U.K
2. Vacuum bagged composite fibre shell elements
3. epoxy laminate molds for fibre glass construction. pressure sensitive tapes- Matrix composites, U.K.

4.  technical textiles cantilever cladding, lighter than aluminium for weightlessness. Textile fibre materials determine stability through 45 degree torsions. The material adapts to the external forces of the cantilever and it's movement. carbon fibre basic material. 
carbon fibre reinforced plastics allow for complex shapes more than steel or aluminium. weight saving. resin saturated cured elements, achieving lower weight for the cantilever.

5. 3m optical mirror film, light transmission. polymer film exhibits 99% light reflectance for interior and exterior cladding elements.

6. Interior materials. Polyester films transforming between transparent and translucent states dependent on viewing angles, anti-reflective privacy films. 

8. Self healing polymers used to support internal mechanisms, sliding seamless surfaces and load transfer attachments between skin and skeleton.This structural deformity under load/earthquake tremor caters the telescopic composite fibre sections has a series of polymer sheaths which protect the design from wear and tear.

9. Motion capture system, sandwiched between the primary and tertiary structure record the movements  inside the hotel, which during tremors aids in evacuation.
