Abstract
This thesis deals with the design of a large hotel with modern facilities in Suzhou, China, using a reinterpretation of traditional Chinese architecture. This was approached by analyzing the city fabric in Old Suzhou, isolating several characteristics in terms of ordering, spatial definitions, architectural experience and quality of space, and transforming an existing system to become a new.
