Download or read book Housekeeping by Design written by David Brody and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mattress, box spring, and duvet for a king-size hotel bed weighs in at 225 pounds. Imagine trying to wrestle with changing the sheets and getting the hospital corners just right; it is easy to see why hotel housekeepers experience back and shoulder injuries at increasing rates. David Brody got behind the scenes at the Chicago Hyatt Regency and the Starwood hotels in Hawaii, bypassing management and corporate press releases to interview the housekeeping staff directly. Given Brody s expertise in architecture and design, his mission here is to help us understand service design in hotels in order to situate the needs of hotel customers, housekeepers, and hotel management one relative to the other. What unfolds as a new perspective on hotels is designin terms of spaces, products, maintenance, and workflow systems. We get vivid examples of how a hotel room s design encapsulates a highly orchestrated, hidden process of management and labor, where work is invisible and surface appearances are paramount to the guest s sense of domestic comfort. ( Turndown service is one exampleroom light dimmed, drapes drawn, music on classical, turndown mat on floor, slippers in place, mint on pillow, etc.) Brody opts strongly for what he calls co-design, which means collaboration between workers and management on improving hotel design, and he is unabashedly partisan in taking sides with hotel workers and their unions. He also advocates for sustainability and green politics."

Book excerpt: There is a huge competition between the business resorts and hotels for the sophisticated cadre of travelers all over the world. The operators and developers in hotel industry look forward to interior designers and architects for creating interesting and unique experiences for their guests. For many decades, the hotel industry had primarily focused upon the operations and functionality. The concept of designing and development of a hotel is rooted in the ethnicities of hospitality to the travelers, which dates back to the ancient times. Various kinds of hotels have evolved in many different countries. The interior styling and designing of hotels are very diverse and numerous variations are there like inns, motels, hotels and spas and resort. Many different aspects influence the sense of a place like small details of furnishing, interiors, buildings, and landscapes. In most of the today's high-end developments, a guest room can be a conventional serviced apartment or a hotel room, and even a phenomenon, which has changed the standalone hotel to a mini-community having, lots of different uses. From an architect's perspective the apartment unit or a guestroom is the core building block, which sets a structure for the building. Since architects are involved in the projects of hospitality for decades, it is a fact that there is no "one size for all" in the hotel industry. Thus, this book will serve the main purpose of guiding as to what is hotel development, planning, and designing. The most happening and unique interiors of a hotel transform a simple stay into a successful and unforgettable experience and makes the guests as the drivers of this journey. In a small frame of time, internet has emerged to become the main source of communication for the development team of the hotels and guests. Rapid advancement in technology has supported the implementation of sustainable practices in operations and design. While detailing the activities, the allocation of space and relationships in the building along with an excellent and resourceful program provides aids in establishing the way a building is situated on a site. The summary of all the space allocation, relationships and activities in a hotel is known as design philosophy or design brief and a building program. This book brings to the readers the planning and development of hotel property, the philosophy behind the designs of a hotel and the types of hotels, which will include the hotel designing for differently abled people. In the later sections, it will also talk about the market analysis and financial feasibility along with the prevalent risks and opportunity in the hotel industry. Above is a very simple sketch of the book on Hotel Planning, Design and Development and a complete study has much more to offer. I look forward to the reader for achieving value-based results by using the techniques and methodologies prescribed in the book. The constructive criticism and the feedback would be most welcome.
