Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current building constructions separate entertainment and recreational spaces from residential and lodging areas, preventing the entertainment venues from being viewable from these spaces.
Innovation Solution
A multilevel building design where living spaces, including hotel rooms, surround an entertainment venue or event space, with viewing concourses and seating areas that allow guests to view the event space from their rooms or designated areas, incorporating features like private seating boxes and club-level seating areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If entertainment venues and lodging areas are constructed as separate buildings, then each building can be designed and operated independently, but the entertainment venue becomes inaccessible to guests in lodging areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines separate entertainment venues and lodging areas into a single integrated building. The entertainment venue is positioned centrally with lodging areas surrounding it on multiple levels, allowing guests to access entertainment facilities from their rooms through viewing concourses and seating areas without requiring separate building exits or external access points.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes vertical stacking to arrange entertainment and lodging spaces across multiple levels. The entertainment venue is located on the ground level while lodging areas are distributed across upper floors, connected by stairwells and elevators. This vertical arrangement enables guests to access entertainment facilities from various heights and locations within the building, enhancing accessibility while maintaining a unified structural configuration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If entertainment venues are integrated into lodging buildings with viewing access, then guests can experience events from their rooms, but the building design becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the building into distinct functional zones: the entertainment venue occupies the ground level as a separate, dedicated space, while lodging areas are segmented across multiple upper floors. Viewing concourses and seating areas are created as intermediate spaces that connect these zones, allowing guests to access the entertainment venue from their rooms through these segmented pathways without requiring complete structural redesign.
Solution Approach 2:
The building design incorporates multi-functional spaces that serve both lodging and entertainment purposes. Lobby areas, dining spaces, and viewing concourses function as both guest service areas and entertainment access points. The entertainment venue itself is designed to accommodate various event types while remaining accessible from multiple lodging locations, allowing the same structural framework to support diverse functions without requiring separate dedicated spaces for each purpose.
