Vertical Strip: The Diploma is about the interplay of vast opaque surfaces with poché and lightweight, fragile structure. The environments developed by these distinct architectural languages are exploited and distributed vertically to create extreme spatial sequences. The project is a casino resort akin to Las Vegas, located on a dramatic site between the Hoover Dam and the Bypass Bridge. The resort caters to various 21st century vices such as: entertainment, gambling and luxury living.
