Picking examples from our building typology, we are to find examples of buildings that have symmetry.

 
This is an example from the smyth hotel in NewYork.

 
This example is from the marriot marquis hotel  in New york.

We were also told to find examples in our choices of building typology that display a strong sense of hierarchy. These are some examples of hotels showing prime location, unique shape and size.
 
This is another picture of the marriot marquis  showing the hierarchy of location, size and shape.




This is the intercontinental hotel in NYC. showing size and also its unique use of windows.

  1. Actually you were asked to find the symmetry or hierarchy in the buildings you selected as your precedents.Not the other way around.
    You need to analyze 3 buildings with simple diagrams

  2. These images do not show what was required in the assignment. We are looking for diagrams (you can draw over images or plans/dwgs) to show the symmetry and hierarchy in examples. There should be some write-up describing what is the hierarchy and symmetry. Is it because of the use, organization, site, structure....
