Urban Interiorities & Interior Designing (April 2024)
Join us for a lecture titled Urban Interiorities & Interior Designing by Dr. Suzie Attiwill, Professor of Interior Design at the School of Architecture and Urban Design, RMIT University.
The terms “interior” and “interiority” are emerging as key terms in discourse addressing the contemporary situation of cities. Experimentation in the urban environment is emerging as a critical trajectory of interior design practice, particularly in education and research across countries and cultures globally. In doing so, one confronts the necessity to not only expand accepted and expected ideas of interior design and the practice of design but also the need to engage with conceptual underpinnings that are inherent in the terms of “interior” and “interiority.” A selection of propositions addressing “interiority” and “interior” in the urban environment will be presented for consideration and discussion.
