Target Group
As companies become more global, there is an increase in the number of employees sent to different locations to complete projects or to collaborate with other companies. Therefore, the primary target group here are business travelers. For this group, technology affects their productivity, as they want during their stay in a hotel to feel like being in their office. More than being wireless connected wherever they are, it is about staying in flexible environments that accommodate both their domestic and professional activities.

Scenario Planning
For the purpose of program development, scenario planning of the city has been done to identify the key issues and driving factors in order to generate a suitable program.

After identifying the most growth promoting region in the plane, they are translated into built forms and a suitable program is achieved that caters to the issue.
