Description
First underground level of something that will never exist, nor was it intended to exist. Guessing game, anyone?This very nearly cost me my degree back in the day, coz
"...no way in hell a student could organize a facility this complex to meet all the regulations, norms and requirements unless he flat-out copied it from somewhere, because even esteemed professors consult experts when dealing with these things".
Ever heard of something called research, ha?
Sigh...very bad memories. A truckload of nerves I'll never get back...
Pricks.

Thank you
Stolen? Gahh.....but y'know, it doesn't surprise me. Where I went to school, all works done on or for the purpose of the University ARE property of the Uni, so professors more than often "shop" for ideas among student woks. And there's nothing you can do about it..
several profs took it to an even higher level - a requisite for attending their exams was turning in a paper on the assigned subject, often documenting/elaborating regarding a specific significant building or structure in respective field, or a cultural heritage monument. Mostly local or in nation-wide area.
...and after a year-2 or so, a luxurious hard-covered book comes out, signed by an esteemed prof, titled "Anthology of Residential housing in XXXXX, Part 3: 1921-1931" or something similar....
Nice, eh?

Loool. Well, I'd shoot someone. Or better still, I'd place a copy of my work on the public notice board alongside pages from their book. It doesn't matter what they steal, like a wise man once told me. What is originally yours will never be someone else's original. We rule the future.

Yup, like that.....one look at the list of individual assignments for that year, and a keen eye could notice that all the buildings/structures/monuments/whatever were either all located within a suspiciously small area, all built within a suspiciously small timeframe, or have some blatant thing in common.
Once all the papers were collected, give it 6 months for compiling/editing, and WHAM - an anthology!!
...except pages 92-99 of it look strangely familiar...
Some were even so bold, they asked for a copy of the paper to be turned in on a CD as well, MS Word file and pictures. I wonder why they need it!
Gah.....it was years ago, but stomach acid begins to boil every time I think of that place. Better to let the sleeping dogs lie

Yeah, they wanted to flunk me....because I took a break from school coz I needed monies, and worked in an actual studio for coupla years...and saw that school was too idealistic and had no connection WHATSOEVER with real life and mountains of regulations, compromises, restrictions and bureaucracy. So I got me a giant pile of related laws&crap, studied it thoroughly an did it like it was really *for real*.
Seriously, if that land was my property and and I handed this project to the municipality, I'd have gotten a permit without a doubt, everything was in there...
Waste of time and nerves.

Yeah - stupid
I nearly flunked personality psychology in the first part of my studies because I challenged some of the common theories on the creation of personality in human beings. Just tried to say that maaaaaybe, just maybe mom isn't responsible for every little part of a kid's eventual personality. I tried introducing things like peers and social circles in school and such. Wow did they hate it

ROFL! Gotta love the insecurities of some "esteemed" profs ... if they were doing their job right they would be praising themselves for teaching well, not bitching that you had the initiative to research.
Best comment I heard from a prof - this makes me want to vomit, looking at it makes me physically sick <<< not said to me, but the project was a complex set of high rise buildings to house and entertain imigrant workers in Dubai
in a
I dig it! What does the rest look like? ... the complexity is cool, is the central area open?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I never liked that place, the general attitude of teaching staff is responsible for me starting to consider it all a huge mistake, about halfway through.....many years have passed, and that impression is still not fully gone.
Yup, the central area is open. This is level -1, there are 2 more parking levels below. There's a sort of a "flying" rest/relaxation area over the center (oval dotted shape) connected by ramps to the ground-floor (but slightly lower than it), but the rest of the restaurant is open all the way to the top - ground floor plus 4 hotel-room levels, atrium style.
Glad you dig.

Yeah ... teaching staff are weird ... bias as well
had a guy that put two cranes at a robot and got a first, I did an entire community centre and got told that it was rubbish and barely worth a pass ... ahh well, bad memories and done with it at least
I think it's looks pretty well thought out though

Well, if I did one red square and one blue square, labeled them as "multi-purpose multimedia experience areas" and vomited out some faux-philosophy behind it that no one would understand, I'd have fared much better than with busting my a$$ for months with this project

Society disapproves of creative people. They'll do anything they can to take your accomplishments from you... even when just in the drafting stage. And students are considered by society to be 'low ranking' therefore an easy target. Normal people are just jealous that they will never have what we, as creative people, can achieve...

Sadly, the zoning plan doesn't allow underground combat training facilities in that area...

Heh, doesn't work that way...you'd have to start a petition, collect enough signatures (in determined-by-law percentage of population that falls under this respective jurisdiction), take it to the municipality and demand a referendum (ballot) which they're obliged to hold.
Now, if a sufficient number of people wants underground combat training facilities and vote 'pro', it is mandatory for the authorities to..er...bah!..
I call shenanigans as well!!

First underground level of a 4-star hotel that was my thesis project back in '06 - real&existing lot, real&existing zoning plan, and the building that must uphold all possible kinds of crap as if it were real, but it ultimately isn't.
That's the restaurant in the atrium,
Bottom, from right to left: service entrance + quarters, vehicle access ramp & delivery, launderette, kitchen complex with separate areas for food preparation, confectionary, bar, dish washing, storages and freezers, staff dining room.
Top left & middle: dressing rooms, pool, fitness, spa & saunas
Top right: boiler room, workshops, storages.
We can easily adapt this layout for your underground lair, sire!
Central area will serve as a grand throne-room (with shark tank and hyenas), Royal kitchen facilities remain, fully staffed at all times, and if you wish, we can substitute the whole fitness facility with a huge number of toilets.
Each one with different deco and with its own type&color of marble, so you may choose the toilet which best suits your current mood!
