The tourist’s journey, William Mitchell explains, is increasingly dependent upon the economy of presence. The brief asked for tourist accommodation to be placed in Shelly Bay, Wellington. Using Mitchell as a generator, this design explores the possibilities of travel when it becomes too costly (financially, environmentally and emotionally). The proposed cabins are to assist people leaving Wellington, virtually. They are centred around a mixed use server room and use parametric modelling to achieve various levels of connection with the virtual and real world.
