Interior Territories: IDEA Journal 2009 CALL FOR PAPERS/PROPOSALS Academics, research students and practitioners are invited to submit design research papers and critical project works that engage with interior design/interior architecture theory and practice for the IDEA Journal 2009. PROVOCATION: Proposals are requested to respond to the provocation Interior Territories: exposing the critical interior in order to elicit emerging interior discourses influenced by explorations into contemporary spatial, material and performative practices. What are the critical issues facing environments and societies that can be explored around the ideas of interior territories? We suggest that within increasingly homogenised and globalised public and private interiors, concepts of territory that infer relationships with located place and field can provoke new relationships concerning spatial practices and material and immaterial ecologies. The IDEA Journal 2009 seeks to expose the engagement of interior practice in contemporary ecological, cultural and economic systems. We invite scholarly accounts of writing and projects that move across disciplinary perspectives and temporal and political systems to express an open-ended enquiry into an expanded territory of the interior. IDEA ACCEPTS: DESIGN RESEARCH PAPERS that demonstrate development and engagement with interior design/interior architecture history, theory, education and practice through critique and synthesis. The focus is on the documentation and critical review of both speculative research and practice-based research REFEREED STUDIOS that represent the nature and outcomes of refereed design studios which have either been previously peer reviewed in situ and/or critically discussed through text and imagery for the IDEA Journal. PROJECT REVIEWS that critically evaluate design-based works which seek to expand the nature of spatial and theoretical practice in interior design/interior architecture and associated disciplines. PROPOSALS FOR BOOK REVIEWS to encourage debate into the emerging literature dedicated to the expression and expansion of the theory and practice of interior design/interior architecture REGISTRATION OF INTEREST: Authors are invited to register their interest in submitting a paper on the following form. Receipt of expression of interest will be acknowledged and guidelines for authors provided.
