Abstract

‎ The design of temporary hotel units is one of the most ‎important challenges for designers in the digital revolution. ‎The need to design spaces with standard specifications ‎seeks to solve space problems and achieve environmental ‎design principles that seek to develop solutions and ‎appropriate treatments for the components of temporary ‎hotel units and prepare them to perform their function ‎efficiently.‎The architectural capsules first appeared in the designs of ‎Japanese architect Kishu Kurokawa and through the design ‎of the Nakajin capsule tower, which was his first building in ‎Japan and was designed and implemented with the aim of ‎accommodating business travelers in central Tokyo, Japan. ‎The designs of the capsule hotels are varied, but the most ‎important of these is the small rooms, which are inspired by ‎the cell or capsule. The designs of the temporary hotel units ‎have undergone a tremendous development as a result of the ‎diversity and evolution of the structural and spatial facilities ‎used in the establishment of temporary units ‎The research discusses the role of technological evolution in ‎the development of architectural capsule interior spaces ‎where the use of processors and ores such as metals, glass, wool, timber and other recycled ores that ‎achieve function and overcome the problem of small space ‎and meet the desires of designers and users to one by ‎dividing the interior space into multiple areas using as ‎conveyors and dividers that divide the interior into fixed ‎and thermal dividers.‎
