Places & Themes of Interiors.

In a global, complex, stratified and constantly evolving reality, Interiors as theoretical discipline and design praxis are undergoing profound transformations. This differently articulated scenario relates and connects even more to various disciplinary spheres, such as anthropology, sociology, economy, technology, communication and arts.
Critical and theoretical reflections, together with applicative experimentations and didactic experiences converge in mapping places and subjects for international research in the field of Interiors. Originated form a research activity carried out by the Research Doctorate in Interiors Architecture and Exhibition Design (cycle 22) at the Politecnico di Milano, focus was centred on three strongly characterised theoretical and practical fields, such as Domestic, Exhibit and Retail.
Individual, collective, local and global issues substantiate orientations and strategies for the current research on Interiors: it is an opportunity for debating over the lively actuality and future perspective on the subject, between scholars and researchers that operate with the most renowned research institutions and universities worldwide, at the Interiors Forum World Conference 2008 at the Facoltà di Architettura e Società, Facoltà di Architettura Civile and Facoltà del Design of the Politecnico di Milano.
