Frame Magazine Issue 124 is available now on loremnotipsum.com. The Sep/Oct issue of Frame magazine sheds light on today’s most ground-breaking initiatives in ecotourism. Snøhetta’s Zenul Khan explains how the future-proof hotel Svart will produce more energy than it consumes. In Amsterdam, a rooftop greenhouse at the QO Hotel closes the circular economy’s four loops of sustainability, while the flexible Circl pavilion employs principles of reuse and recycling. And across the ocean, Zero Waste Bistro popped up in New York to address leftovers in the hospitality industry by sourcing and serving sustainability. New proposals for sustainable hospitality show that eco-travel – like nearly all of today’s industries – is experiencing a hi-tech makeover.

Frame is the world’s leading interior design publication. Since its launch in 1997, the magazine has remained faithful to its mission: putting interior architecture on the map as a creative profession that’s equally important as design and architecture.

The Challenge: Sustainable hospitality
In the lead-up to each issue, Frame challenges emerging designers to answer a topical question with a future-forward concept. Involving both travel and dining out – activities that typically generate a deluge of waste – the hospitality industry is in need of a radical rethink. Hotel guests are starting to stoke the fire: Greenview’s 2017 Green Lodging Trends Report noted a drastic increase in queries about carbon offsetting from overnight visitors. In line with this issue’s hospitality-themed Frame Lab, we asked five makers to share their visions for the industry’s future.

Hospitality Lab
Is the concept of sustainable travel a contradiction? With up to 80 per cent of the industry’s CO2 emissions generated by the journey alone – not to mention accusations of greenwashing aimed at the ecotourism sector – it seems all but impossible for holidaymakers to leave home with a clear conscience. Thankfully, change is afoot. Realizing that transparency is key, hotel designers are explicitly integrating sustainability into their plans and, in many cases, are involving both guests and locals in their various initiatives.
