Hospitality Design - September 2014 - 24

You may be asking yourself why our cover story is on education,

considering the title of the magazine is Hospitality Design. Throughout
the year, we always like to look at other disciplines-from fashion and
aviation to urban planning and technology-that are at once different from
our industry and mutually informative. More and more this has been the
case with education, so we decided to look at it in two ways. First, through
almost a dozen stunning projects-whether a café at Yale, a women's
university in Saudi Arabia, or (our cover photo) the University Center at
the New School in New York; and second, through checking in with a
few top design and management programs to see how they are teaching
the next generation of hospitality
leaders, as well as interviewing a
handful of designers and architects
who added teaching to their résumés
to impart some of their wisdom.
Lessons based on real-life experience
are priceless and more important
than ever for students entering such
a competitive, evolving field.
The rest of the issue should
look more familiar (and hopefully
offer you a few new insights at the
same time), and includes three
development spotlights, interviews
with designer-and musician-
Lenny Kravitz, developer Morris
Moinian, and hotelier Horst Schulze,
lessons learned with David Collins Studio's creative director Simon
Rawlings, and seven eye-catching new hotels. Because through unique
challenges, every project teaches a lesson of some kind, right?
Speaking of learning opportunities, this is also our issue that's
published in conjunction with our HD Americas expo and conference,
which heads to the Miami Beach Convention Center September 16-17th.
As you probably know, Latin America and the Caribbean are undergoing
a development surge, and our accredited conference sessions focus on
some of the area's newest and greatest openings, as well as the challenges
and opportunities of working in the region from those who know best:
developers and brand executives with their feet on the ground. Plus,
prolific Brazilian designer Arthur Casas, whose modernist aesthetic has
made a significant impact in the area and beyond, will keynote the twoday affair. I, unfortunately, won't be able to hear his talk firsthand as I am
grounded from flying due to the impending arrival of twins later this fall,
but I know it will be an engaging conversation with our editorial director
Michael Adams. We hope you can join us.
