Interactions
Main Interaction
Conventional hotels have public rooms (restaurant, foyer, service desk, swimming pool) and private rooms (bedrooms and bathrooms). The public rooms are situated within the VFood-restaurant, project 22, and the private activities in the floating coloured spheres of the Veni-Vidi project. '
See project 22 for an exploded view of the hotel functions within the VFood-restaurant

If hotelvisitors want to go to the swimming pool or market, they can walk or float with their sphere to the Variatons-project (project 24) or the the SEPAC-project (project 8). The hotel activities, situated within the VFood-restaurant (designed in a Voronoi style), are designed in the Veni-Vidi style (steel honeylike pattern and sails). Hotelvisitors can easily recognize the hotel activities in this way.
Connection with the RDM and neighbours
The VFood-restaurants is connected to the 'Rejuvenative Sandwich' (leftside of the left image) and 'De geleerde netwerk' (right side of the left image). The scaffolds, that people will use to get to their hotelroom, are formed in such a way that the spheres can float through and that the boundaries given by the neighbours are especially close to the VFood-restaurant are esthetically followed.
Service desk and foyer
The clash of the voronoi- and veni-vidi style becomes visible in the room, where the service desk and foyer are situated. The steel diamond-honeylike pattern of the Veni-Vidi facade is visible in the walls of a voronoicell, the service desk itself and the glass floor beneath the couches. The sails are visible in the topplate of the service desk and around the couches. The luggageroom and toilets are situated underneath the stair.
The scaffold

In order to reach the hotelrooms, people have to cross the scaffold. The scaffold has an open pergola profile with a sail-railing. Maybe a small market or a expostion can be held here. The innovation centre, close to the VFood-restaurant, can use some expostion space.
Walking over the sails
People can walk over the sails to different projects, other Veni-Vidi-spheres or the RDM-site itself. The doorheight (2,3 m on ground floor and first floor) and width of the steel structure is specially designed, that a door can be placed in a glass cell.
Interaction of and for the user
The sails of the Veni-Vidi hotels interact with the sun load and the user of the coloured spheres. When the sun-radiation is high, the sails can close. Because the spheres can rotate easily, due the water, the sails don't have to be closed whole the time. When privacy is needed in an hotelroom, all 4 sail columns of a hotelroom can be closed.
The collapsable wall and the floors that can move up and down, increases the amount of activities that can be held in the spheres. When all 5 hotelunits are connected, the building can even turn into one big exposition building, with a big stair formed by the slabs.
Where to go in the RDM?
