‘FLOW: a conference in two parts’ will address issues of the complex relationships between interiors and landscape, which have become increasingly relevant to the understanding of the modern interior. In 2011, FLOW 1 will take a historical perspective covering the period from the late 19th century to the present day. Queensland University of Technology will host FLOW 2 in Brisbane, Australia in February 2012, with the aim of developing themes that emerge from the London conference.
The conference recognises the complex relationship that exists between ‘interior’ and ‘exterior’ environments through a consideration of transitional, permeable and ambiguous spaces, such as conservatories, terraces, and balconies in a domestic context, and continuous commercialised environments within the public sphere, such as international airports, shopping malls and post-industrial parks. The aim of the conference is to reconsider and advance research into a number of dualisms that sit at the heart of our understanding of the modern interior – ‘inside’
and ‘outside’, ‘private’ and ‘public’, ‘domestic’ and ‘non-domestic’.
