| 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. | ||||
