Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The evidence of past events that have taken place within this hotel and the guests that have circulated its halls all take part in the organic layout of the hotel, to this day. With the growing interest in traveling, tourists from all over the world visit numerous cities and expect to reside within the best-rated hotels and historic sites. For this reason, as trends develop and taste adapts to the period, interiors must be modified and at times renovated to accommodate the visitors’ needs. With the intent to attract a larger crowd of guests to this historical site, designers, architects, developers, and engineers had to be more conscious about the image they wanted this hotel to portray. Concepts such as the ambient conditions, the space, and its functions, and the signs, symbols, and furniture that denote the space are all important factors that should be taken into consideration for the arrangement of the interior (Countryman). The arrangement of the interior and the objects within the space plays an important role as it denotes tastefulness, social status, and cultural awareness to narrate the history, all while offering liveable spaces adapted to the demands of modern life (Penny Sparke).
A meeting place for important parliament correspondents to link and discuss the latest gossip, or perhaps a welcoming room for guests wishing to check into their rooms, the lobby of the Chateau Laurier played a major role in welcoming the visitors roaming the streets of downtown Ottawa. As the visitors make their way to the main entrance of the Chateau, the revolving door is what guides them to the interior. The choice of these doors is rather used as a tool for the separation between public and private space as it acts as a metaphor for their stay in the hotel, fluid and smooth – they will go in and enjoy their sojourn and eventually will make their way out once their stay comes to an end. By entering this space, the lobby, guests are greeted by a rich and ornate arrangement. Its picturesque and overwhelmingly embellished interior is separated with three symmetrical archways on the perimeter of the room leading deeper into the hotel.
