The Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada is one of the more memorable structures I have visited. This is mainly due to the ways design was implemented to elevate an overall experience.

The word Aria translates in multiple languages to Air. The structure itself exhibits this translation as the design incorporates elements which make the structure feel light and open. Overall, the structure has a very organic feel which leads to a more welcoming experience.

The design of the structure elevates the experience through implementation of technologies to increase convenience. Nearly every electronic device in the room can be controlled via a remote tablet in the room. The television, lights, and shades are all components which can be controlled remotely. This minor detail increased my awareness on the potential ways in which technology can affect an overall design.
