Each year, the Radical Innovation Awards select a group of professionals to represent the unique and radical transformations occurring in the hospitality industry. This year, the board selected six finalists — three professionals and three students — from across the world.
Some of the focuses of these projects include making use of space in urban areas, using abandoned railway systems, and addressing the industry’s increasing need for isolation. Below is information about each of the six finalists, selected from about 50 entries from over 20 countries.
1. SAN FRANCISCO
Infinite Explorer | SB Architects
Anyone who has ever taken a train knows it’s possible to be so blown away by the amazing views out the window that they wished they could stop for a second to take it all in. Pitched by SB Architects, that’s exactly the experience the Infinite Explorer aims to provide.
This hospitality concept allows travelers to see more remote destinations in the Western US by traveling along the many abandoned railway lines across the nation. The train’s uniquely designed cabins open at specific points of the journey to allow passengers to step outside and enjoy their surroundings, as well as several planned activities, adventures, and dining experiences.
2. NEW YORK
Volumetric High-Rise Modular Hotel | Danny Forster & Architecture
Located on Sixth Avenue in New York City, the AC by Marriott will be the world’s tallest modular hotel after its opening in 2020. But it won’t be an ordinary or plain modular design — instead, this high-rise modular hotel will also be architecturally impressive. Despite its stylish appearance, around 80 percent of the building’s square footage will come from a manufacturer in Poland.
