Welcome to NewcastleInterior Futures '11
Date: 3rd - 4th March 2011
Time: All Day
Place: School of Design, Northumbria University
This inaugural conference of the Interior Educators group brought together members of IE and other interested parties from around the UK and even as far a field as New York City to create a dynamic national discourse within this diverse three-dimensional design discipline. The conference was of great relevance to Interior Design, Interior Architecture and other Spatial Design disciplines with the main aim of the conference to discuss the current standing of Interior Education in the UK, the relationship of Interior Education to its practice and the way in which current Interior practice and research may inform the future direction of Interior Education.
I think its safe to say that all in attendance agreed the conference certainly covered some great areas of interest and raised many interesting talking points.
