MDES INTERIOR DESIGN
Reid Building, 39 students
We are delighted to celebrate another year of fantastic work from Interior Design MDes students. They are actively engaging with the social and political aspects of everyday life using their spatial education as a navigational device. Their critical approaches emphasise the production of space with the use of physical and digital tools. Venturing beyond mainstream notions of the discipline, they imagine types of future human inhabitation and suggest how spaces might be. Their studies, together with their personal stories, have furnished them with the greatest opportunity to discuss, debate and explore innovative approaches to the making of interiors, and thereby reframing our relationship with space.
These and other questions were floated between participants, their answers may be found embedded in the work you will discover here.
