One of the most amazing things we get to do at HD is find new and

upcoming talent. Yes, we love featuring the veterans of the industry, but it's
always exciting to discover the younger firms that are putting their own unique
spin on hospitality and beyond. We of course highlight them throughout the
year, especially with our annual Wave of the Future awards, but we have made a
concerted effort to showcase more of these emerging designers on a regular basis.
That starts in this issue's On Our Radar section (page 100), where we profile nine
of these gifted designers who are rethinking
everything from offices to restaurants.
It's fitting, with their breadth of work,
that they are in our annual inspiration issue.
Sources of creativity come from everywhere,
and we have gathered 30 innovative projects,
from thought-provoking installations to outof-the-box hybrid retail spaces that are sure
to spark a few ideas. There's even a bridge
in Vietnam that seems to be held up by two
giant, god-like hands.
We also take a global tour of a few
standout hotels. There's Zaha Hadid
Architects' latest bold creation in Macau, with
its twisting geometric façade (page 138), a
hotel that seems to rise from the mist in China
(page 134), and a sensitive refurbishment in London's Bloomsbury neighborhood
(page 142)-each one inventive in its approach and execution.
Inspiration and education are two of our pillars at HD, which is why I am
excited about our newest event, Elevate. Tickets are on sale for this can't-miss
daylong event where industry luminaries from all design disciplines will grace
the stage-Six Senses, David Rockwell, Snøhetta, Google, and WeWork, to name
a few-for a series of TED-like, 30-minute talks on design, looking at where we
are today and where we are headed tomorrow. Go to hdelevate.com for more
information. We hope you can join us October 11th in New York at Convene.
And, please welcome the newest member of our team, Kari Costas. Our new
managing editor is no stranger to design after cutting her teeth at the likes of
Traditional Home and HGTV magazines. We are excited to have her on board.
