The Modern Interiors Research Centre Conference will bring together
architectural and design historians and practitioners and curators, to examine
and debate the theme of the interior as a marker of history. The conference
will seek to reveal and debate the numerous ways in which interiors register
and mark the passing of time and will question the ways in which time and the
effect of social, cultural, political and economic factors shape our
understanding and assessment of the interior.
