Conceptualizing Conviviality: An Interior Speculation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Confronted by waves of isolation due to COVID-19, it is understandable how current and prospective interior architecture/design students could languish, socially and creatively. In their final studio in the Bachelor of Interior Architecture program at the University of South Australia, students were tasked to create a highly convivial space, a place to joyously interact with strangers—a challenge to recent experiences. The studio projects presented in this essay offer commentary and invite speculation on how conviviality could be manifest through interior forms, typologies, and design maneuvers.
