Architectures of Desire in Hotel Experience 2026
Hotel Experience 2026 gave us the opportunity to dive into a conversation that feels more vital than ever: what happens when emotion becomes a commodity, and AI takes part in every step of creation?
Dimitris Karampatakis engaged in a rich dialogue with Nikos Erinakis for “Architectures of Desire,” a panel discussion moderated by Danai Makri. Prompted by a simple story about an overlooked hotel hand lotion, the conversation evolved into a deep exploration of the routes between IQ and EQ, human craftsmanship, mortality, and the “void” in design, reminding us that hospitality spaces should invite people to genuinely participate in a living, evolving ecosystem rather than simply consume it.
A heartfelt thank you to Design Ambassador for creating the space for these ideas to unfold, and to everyone who joined us for the conversation.
