newsletter APRIL 2019               We are Thrilled to Announce our     GOLD AWARD

A jury of Hospitality Professionals have awarded “MAKRIDIS ASSOCIATES Architects” and “Forum SA” with 2019 GOLD TOURISM AWARD for the project HOTEL MEGA TRENDS   Hotel Megatrends Installation The project featured a fully developed facility of 445 sq. m. presenting the latest trends in Hospitality, Technology, Design, Architecture and Sustainability. HOTEL MEGATRENDS was based on four main axes TECH, DESIGN, GREEN, LOCAL, creating a point of innovation, education and inspiration for visitors of the exhibition.   The design of the real HOTEL MEGATRENDS installation was based on the interaction of the above four axes, in an attempt to create a new experience that would be experimental, very social, friendly and creative. The project aimed at generating ideas in order to rethink the standards of conventional hosting spaces and how Design most radically affects the mode and manner in which a hotel responds to the needs of guests and the local community. The purpose of the overall design was to come up with a hosting space experimenting and developing along with the local community while at the same time responding to the wishes and expectations of the modern traveler.   Sponsors Our Grand Sponsors were KAFKAS, LG Business solutions, IT concept and Optimum Sponsors the brands Vitex, Kourasanit, Akritas, along with more than 30 brands/sponsors contributing greatly to the realization of this innovative project.   Makridis Associates Creative Team Project Architect: Fotis Vasilakis Architects: Vasilis Tsigkas, Despoina Thomaidou, Lenia Steliou, Pavlina Martini, Georgina Moraiti, Vily Rapanta, Sylvia Georgiadou, Pinelopi Gardika Interior design coordination: Zoi Kokogia #architects #hotelmegatrends #tourismawardsgr #greekhospitality
