Thesis Report V-SPARC VIT
OBJECTIVES: Give guests opportunities for educational engagement by

providing guided tours, interpretive signage, and interactive exhibits that
highlight the historical significance of the hotel's architectural

features.Through sensitive restoration, adaptive reuse, and conservation

efforts, the building's historical integrity and architectural elements will be
preserved and showcased, ensuring the authenticity and longevity of the

cultural heritage.Enhance the overall guest experience by creating themed

experiences, such as historical-themed rooms, storytelling sessions, or
cultural workshops, that immerse visitors in the destination's rich history and

traditions.Foster a strong sense of place by incorporating local narratives,

traditions, and craftsmanship into the hotel's design and decor, resulting in
an authentic and distinct atmosphere that reflects the destination's cultural

identity.

METHODOLOGY :
One approach to incorporating historical elements is to repurpose and adapt

existing structures or materials for new uses. This can include repurposing

old structures, such as transforming a church into a library, a factory into a
hotel, or a barn into a home. It may also entail using historical materials like

bricks, tiles, wood, or metal in new ways, such as accent walls, floors, ceilings,

or furniture. Repurposing and adapting elements can help to preserve their
original character and history while also instilling new life and meaning.

Another way to incorporate historical elements is to contrast and complement

them with contemporary elements. This can include striking a contrast
