The Hotel of the Future, TEDx Dubai 2011

The Hotel of the Future, TEDx Dubai 2011

Designing the Hotel of the Future, from a tweet to a work of art … 

Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts were proud to be sponsors of TEDxDubai 2011 ‘The Beauty of Small Things’, which was held on 22nd October 2011. In the spirit of TED ‘Ideas worth Spreading’, a unique concept was developed in which people were asked to tweet in their ideas to @Jumeirah of ‘The Hotel of the Future’. Concepts were then selected and artistically represented live by a performance artist Zanjeer Salam (@ZanjeerSalam) at the venue. The result was a 4m canvas displaying a variety of unique ideas of what the Hotel of the Future may look like, where it may be situated, and what features and facilities would be available. From a combination of tweets a work of art was generated truly the ‘Beauty of Small Things’
