Summary

?Interior emerged through doing a practice research PhD.
?Interior is different to 'interior?' which invokes the question 'what?' in search of an answer.
?Interior poses 'interior' as a problematic to be addressed each time anew through designing; a 'how' question.
Philosophy in practise/practice foregrounds a concern with 'what we do' as distinct from explaining 'what is'.

This seminar is open to all PolyU PhD students and SD staff.
This Zoom meeting accommodates 100 participants at most.
Event registration is required and on a first-come, first-served basis.
Successful registrants will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom meeting details before the event.
