“As clubgoers dance, the floor is compressed by less than half an inch. It makes contact with the piezoelectric material under it and generates anywhere from two to 20 watts of electricity, depending on the impact of the patrons’ feet” - http://www.popsci.com/environment/article/2009-01/harvesting-energy-humans

“Our most challenging...rewarding projects result from all the live, work, and play environments coming together in urban mixed-use developments. If the leaded elements are skillfully blended, the results can be golden. What we gain is the opportunity to be involved in the civic realm--to be active as citizens of our communities”

PROFILE OF THE CLIENTMARRIOT HOTEL

Their key business activity is to provide people with rooms

to sleep in that are convenient and comfortable. They need to

move away from the mere convenience aspect and into a sphere

that encompasses social gathering and multi-uses so that all

customers will be benefitted and not just the young entrepreneurs

that utilize their board and meeting rooms.

SUGGESTIONS

Indoor gardens that are sustainable

Self-tapping electricity systems will provide people with the incentive to stay longer, socialize more, and feel as though they are doing something good for the environment.

Pop up stores will provide more incentive to come andthrough collaborations can change the entire outlook and reputation the Marriott.

Technology-free spaces could be incorporated into the gardens so that people feel like they are getting back to nature and a more primitive time and can relax.
