Design and architecture meet particularly directly where people experience spaces. At this Design Talk, our speakers will talk about the interface between interior design and interior architecture. The two terms are often used synonymously and in practice the transitions are quite fluid. Nevertheless, there are important nuances, for example in terms of technical perspectives, aesthetics or atmosphere.
We discuss:
- How are interiors planned, designed and perceived?
- What are the defining differences or contrasts between the disciplines of interior design and interior architecture?
- What role do atmosphere, function, materiality and furnishings play?
- What responsibility is associated with the design of spaces?
The speakers will begin by providing insights into their perspectives and working methods, after which the floor will be opened up for questions and input from the audience.
We are looking forward to it:
