Hotels are a hub for commerce, transportation and culture. Today, interior designers are redefining hospitality spaces to accommodate new forms of travel, communication and rest. From historic renovations to contemporary ground-up hotels, these projects center around leisure and memorable guest experiences. In turn, they express brand identity to rethink what interior design and hospitality will be in the future.
Adam Sokol Architecture Practice (ASAP) have revealed the design for a hotel tower made to be a piece of urban geology in downtown Los Angeles. Called the Spring Street Hotel, the project is designed to capitalize on the accelerating growth and development of the downtown LA area. Situated in the core historic district of downtown, the tower aims to build on its distinctive location and cultural context to create a landmark destination for the city.
A new not-for-profit art and architecture organization called ASAP (Archive of Spatial Aesthetics and Praxis), founded by former MoMA Curator Tina di Carlo, launches Monday, December 12 at the top of The Standard, New York with Bjarke Ingels, Alex Schweder La and Jerszy Seymour. More information on the event after the break.
