Depok, Indonesia
There is a significantly growing discourse evolving on the
topic of interiority, that calls for reconsideration of inhabitation process in
our living environments, and extends its potential beyond the bounded
internality of architectural spaces. The attempts of rethinking interiority
challenge spatial dichotomies, promote interdependence, and offer insights from
different culture and perspectives. These attempts may emerge from diverse stories
of engagements
with interiority. Following the previous dialog during 1st Conference on
Interiority and Interior Architecture in 2014, this year conference seeks
to provoke further conversation that reflects multiple perspectives on
interiority.
Understanding and researching interiority call for
multidisciplinary approaches, ranging from urban, architectural and interior
studies, to other fields of study with pertinent concern on the tangible and
intangible aspects of interiority. This conference invites global and
multidisciplinary contributors to join the discourse of interiority by
proposing multiple perspectives on interiority as a way to construct different
stories of interior. We expect submissions within the scope of the following
themes:
Encounters of Interiority
This theme seeks to explore the tools—of which interiority
can be encountered with—in various phases of design and inquiry. The experience
of interiority may unfold from stories narrated by a user, that articulates
spatial knowledge and meaning to others. Interiority can also be encountered as
a dynamic process, performed in certain rituals as well as moving in adrift.
Interiority may also be actively constructed and altered through various
strategies in composing the spatial choreography.
Systems of Interiority
This theme aims to understand the various mechanisms of
interiority, and seeks to collect the stories that reveal these mechanisms. In
understanding such mechanisms, the material qualities of interiority are
important, as a platform of which interiority is experienced. It is also critical
to explore how interiority evolves within its ecological system, comprising of
network of actors and spaces, living and non-living things. The system of
interiority could also be understood by looking at interiority as constructed
by a series of responses, be it sensorial or virtual, permanent or ephemeral,
and so on.
Interiority and Critical Issues of Human Inhabitation
The understanding of interiority becomes a vehicle to
respond to various critical issues of human inhabitation. There is an urgent
call to explore how human well-being can be achieved within the development of
interiority, to enable design research and interventions towards healthy,
inclusive and sustainable environment. Significant value of culture raises a
question of interior-identity linkages, in particular how spatial identity can
be defined—either by repetitive practices or through assigning distinctive
roles and uses. The idea of interiority that is gradually extended into urban
domain also calls for a concern on how interiority can be engaged, or even
formed publicly, creating shared territories.
Abstract submission: 31 July 2017.
