Beyond Interiority: The Design Politics of the Normative

The lecture is given by Professor Alison J. Clarke, design historian and trained social anthropologist at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. The lecture is part of the online lecture series ‘The Complex Interior’.

Clarke’s approach combines historical and anthropological methodology. Clarke’s work is at the forefront of design anthropology research and is integral to debates regarding material culture, design and consumption studies.

Lecture Series: The complex interior
'The complex interior' is organized by the master programme Spatial Design, the PhD School and The Royal Danish Academy - Center for Interior Studies. 'The Complex Interior' addresses the interior as a multi-layered phenomenon present at and in various scales, sensations and situations, and discusses the interior across disciplines involving anthropologists, design historians and practising architects. Each lecture will be followed by an online discussion.
