Our group decided to do our project on the Plaza Hotel. One of the most prominent aspects of this hotel is the graceful and grand aesthetic of it. It’s not only seen in the architecture and interior art, but in the mannerisms and dress of the employees and visitors. Everyone is well-dressed and put together no matter where they are in the hotel.
I chose this particular photo of one of the hallways is because it captures the attention to detail and beauty of every spect of the hotel. You have the beautiful artwork on the floor with its wavy and floral accents on a diamond-patterned background. You have the plants carefully arranged on the ledge in the background of the photo and in a vase next to it. Even the ledge has so me level of artistic detail carved into it. You have the mannequins displaying clothes in glass cases standing by the left wall. Finally, you have the two people walking down the hallway. One is dressed in a black suit with black shoes and a black hat, while the other is in a black shirt with a black jacket over it and black shoes.
Each part of this photo suggests how much effort each person contributes to the overall aesthetic of the place. The artists that paint the walls and floor make sure that each has an exquisite pattern. The people who set up the furniture and decorations of the place shows nature and industry in one hallway. The employees (although not in the photo) greet every person gracefully and politely and are well dressed in suits. Finally, the inhabitants follow along with their dress and behavior. Every part of this hotel contributes to one large image the hotel wants to show the city and anybody interested in it.
