Hoi An The ancient habour city has been selected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Its architecture which mixes Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese and some western influences is quite spectacular, so tourism is expanding. The challenge is to build nearby this ancient unique city a hotel of 150 keys with an distorted land form.
The city of Hoi An allows a seven stories building although the houses of the ancient city are no more than two levels. On such a site, an astonishing architecture means ridiculous. The tourists need an architecture which introduce the style of Hoi An and its life. A puzzle game makes the facade of the hotel a patchwork of the Hoi An houses, a good solution for a big challenge: Treatment of the facades like the postcards to create a miniature Hoi An.
