Entry Description

Considering today’s fast-paced lifestyle, which impacts all aspects of human life, including the sense of belonging, and the challenges posed by mass tourism to societies, this research seeks to harmonize tangible and intangible heritage through cultural sustainability. A boutique hotel, offers an environment aligned with the principles of slow tourism, fostering meaningful experiences. By celebrating cuisine as intangible heritage, it encourages interactions between locals and travelers, strengthens a sense of belonging, and addresses it through an experiential design approach.
