To adore is having a pronounced taste for a thing. To adore is also to give to honor the adored thing, to respect it, to honor it not to lose the taste of it. It is to dedicate an admiring and passionate veneration so intense that we adore also its mysteries and what surrounds it. The adorers dedicates their worship to the body which is established in the connection that the matter, objects and ornaments maintains with the soul, associating visual and spiritual. This idea of a world in which «everything is decoded» refers to the posthumous universe of Carlo Mollino or Mark West’s «Happy Town». In spite of the massive and frozen character of the hotel, the life that takes place there becomes like a play through scenes revealed by the curtains. A mechanism governed by a clock activates the rooms of the hotel and gives the rhythm and the lines to the protagonists. The hotel has been designed for the adorers according to a doubled system allowing the servant and the served to interact without ever crossing each other. In plan, this system exploits the thickness then adjusts between balance and disproportion, plays with symmetry without really embodying it to create an enfilade of rooms that hosts scenes.
