Environment and Interior Design

Moderno Asclepeion

by Wong Tsz Shun Jessie

BA (Hons) in Environment and Interior Design

Today, our fascination with technology, media, beauty, material goods and work has reached an obsessive level. We dedicate time and attention towards them to the degree that is similar to worshipping, making these ideologies our newfound religion.

Asclepions were Ancient Greek establishments where believers seek spiritual and physical healing from Gods in their sleep. Borrowing this concept, this project explores the possibility where a hotel becomes a worshipping space for our new religions to portrait modern values.

The project is inspired by Piranesi's imaginary prisons. His drawing methodologies are extracted and used to reinterpret religious architecture interiors with hospitality programmes.
