Living in the Past: Histories, Heritage and the Interior

The 6th Modern Interiors Research Centre Conference
Thursday 14 and Friday 15 May 2009
Hosted by the Modern Interiors Research Centre (MIRC) at Kingston University, London

The conference will debate the ways in which time and the effect of social, cultural, political and economic factors shape our understanding and assessment of the interior. The Conference will bring together architectural and design historians and practitioners, curators and policy makers, to examine and debate the theme of the interior as a marker of history.
The convenors welcome proposals for 20-minute papers, which may be historical or contemporary case studies, addressing the following themes:

- History and the Interior.
- The Re-designation of Interiors.
- Heritage and the Interior.
- The Interior as History/Memory.
