Pension Bertolini: From Page to Plan
Open AccessArchitecture and interiors often play a central role in works of literature, but what happens when the roles are reversed? Interiors inspired by literature are often superficial or fantastic. A true translation of literary work to architectural form is not merely aesthetic in scope, but experiential. Underlying themes can be constructed as architectural metaphors, resulting in a space that evokes an emotional response similar to those inspired by reading the work in question. Using E. M. Forster's A Room with a View as a guide, a design is proposed that captures the novel's essence while simultaneously retaining the chic aesthetic expected of a boutique hotel. The design is framed by the premise that Penguin Books owns and operates a global hospitality chain, with each hotel based on a different book.
