This project interrogates the emergence of an architecture through the principles of chaos theory, exploring the relationship between space and time through the construction of a hotel. The scheme is situated upon the highest point in Florida, a 114m tall stack of radioactive mining waste, from which the architecture is exclusively constructed. Radioactivity is inherently time sensitive and this allows the building to proclaim a temporal state, rather than a purely physical one. The spaces within this project have durational and temporal qualities, not just literal geographic ones.
