Our objective for this project was to build a Prototype and create a presentation for the new Ruggiero hotel being built in Orlando Florida. We had a week to come up with a design for this extravagant hotel. This was very difficult with such a short period of time. In the end my partners Micah and Brianna and I finished the project. Brianna was known as the president of our company bossing us around and designing a few floors for the building. Micah was the C.E.O designing the inside of the building along with Brianna and I was the Chief designer in charge of the structure of the building.
Our first obstacle was coming up with a name for our group. This became fairly easy thanks to Mr. Ruggiero. We all agreed on Britt and Brett architectural firm due to Mr. Ruggiero accidentally calling Brianna, Brittany. Next we had to come up with the main idea for our lobby. Micah had the wonderful idea of creating the lobby based after Mr. Ruggiero’s favorite quarter back of all time Dan Marino. It was filled with all kinds of Dan Marino memorabilia such as signed posters, jerseys and Pictures of the famous athlete. The lobby also included a statue of Mr. Ruggiero the reasonable in all of his glory. Next we had to create the business cards and the Header for the project. I was in charge of the business cards. It was a fairly easy portion.
Finally I was left with the final design of the project. This was the most difficult task since we could not decide on a building to model our hotel after. We first decided on the Cuban national hotel Due to its fairly easy shape. Brianna one day saw a picture of the Mickey musical theatre and decided it was the perfect design. The actual constructing of the building was not so easy. First I had complications trying to tape the paper buildings but it just wouldn’t hold no matter what the tape kept becoming undone. It was very long and frustrating. In the end we got it to hold just long enough for the project to be presented.
This was probably one of the most challenging projects to date and I honestly enjoyed it. We came to the day of the announcement of the winner and we found out we lost to Plus inc.
