The journal presents the discourses on interiority from multiple perspectives in various design-related disciplines: architecture, interior design, spatial design, and other relevant fields. The idea of interiority emphasises the internal aspects that make and condition the interior, which might be understood and manifested through the users’ inhabitation, through the materiality of objects and built environment as well as through specific methods and approaches of design practice. The journal addresses the idea of interiority as both experienced and practised, which might be examined through theoretical discussion, spatial design practice and empirical interior research. Authors are invited to submit articles that address the questions of interiority in a wide range of interior context, which may include but not limited to: domestic and urban interior, personal and collective interior, contemporary and historic interior, global and indigenous interior. The journal also provides an open forum for discussing various aspects of localities that celebrate interior in specific socio-cultural contexts where particular ideas of interiority might originate and further extend. Submissions are also invited in the forms of reviews of books, projects and exhibition that are intended to challenge and extend the ideas of interiority.

Abstract

The idea of interior as an ecosystem views the emergence of interior as a dynamic and relational environment. Rather than viewing the interior as a static or enclosed environment, the ecological perspective considers the interior as an ecosystem, constructed by the systems of relations that involve a multiplicity of actors and entities. This issue of Interiority presents the emergence of various interior occupation and adaptation models that have emerged as an integral part of the ecosystem. The collection of articles in this issue presents a range of cases, ranging from traditional, modern, to contemporary lifestyles and contexts. The works demonstrate the ecosystem involving various actors, both human and non-human, across cultures and time periods. They represent the acts of responding and manoeuvring within the ecological entanglement. They illustrate how interior is not merely a backdrop of living but dynamic agents that keep evolving and transforming within the dynamic ecologies.

Abstract

Interior design has traditionally prioritised human experiences, often neglecting ecological and nonhuman perspectives on interiority. This anthropocentric focus limits the discipline's ability to address the spatial and sensory needs of nonhuman persons, including teleost fishes. It overlooks interiority as a universal and relational phenomenon shared by all living beings. This research challenges these boundaries by proposing a biosemiotic framework that integrates the body, interiority, and inhabitation as interdependent constructs shaped by physiological, mental, and environmental interactions. By developing Jakob von Uexküll's (1982) biosemiotic schema, the study investigates the sentient experiences of teleost fishes to establish interiority as a capability inherent in all life forms. It argues that interiority emerges not from constructed spaces but as an affective state shaped by sensory perceptions, environmental affordances, and the organism’s internal state. The case study on Betta splendens demonstrates that fishes exhibit spatial awareness, sensory agency, and dwelling behaviours, which underscores their capacity for interiority. This research extends the theoretical foundations of interior design by framing interiority as a shared ecological and physiological process rather than an exclusively human construct. It advocates for inclusive design practices that consider the lived experiences of nonhuman persons by challenging designers to create environments that foster well-being across species. By broadening interior design's scope, this study contributes to a more ethical and ecologically attuned approach to designing for inhabitation.

Abstract

Although the courtyard was not a central element in the early stages of the Modernist movement, it later became a key transitional space between the interior and the exterior. This concept was reinterpreted in Spain through a balance between modernity and tradition, particularly in holiday homes along the Costa Brava. This research explores the role of the outdoor room in modern Mediterranean architecture and its relationship with the environment, using José Antonio Coderch's Rozes House as a case study. Through redrawing, the text aims to analyse how the 'outdoor room' in Rozes House enhances spatial continuity and strengthens the relationship between architecture, inhabitants, and the landscape. It helps to restore the identity and memory of the place through spatial solutions that respect both the landscape and tradition, reaffirming its power as a catalyst for a fulfilling way of life. As an essential design tool, the outdoor room transforms the domestic space by integrating nature and enriching the inhabitant's experience.

Abstract

Rural houses form a significant part of the rural architectural heritage, showing the region's lifestyle in their spatial organisation, types of spaces, and interior furnishings. This study examines the spatial characteristics of rural houses in Çamlıhemşin from the perspective of ecosophy, Guattari's (2005) approach of emphasising the reciprocity and intertwining of social, mental, and environmental ecologies. The impact of living culture on the spatial organisation and residential usage norms within the dwellings was evaluated and elucidated through an analysis of data gathered from on-site surveys, relevant literature, and archival scans. These data are interpreted according to the different characteristics and operational values between Turkish houses and the Çamlıhemşin houses in the Eastern Black Sea. These disparate points uniquely characterise the region from other regions, which are considered differentiation points. These interlocked ecologies define a dynamic structure that forms the formal and operational characteristics of the region. While the geographical characteristics of the region determine the environmental ecology, abstract values such as the social structure, collective beliefs, worldview, lifestyle, and perception of privacy are the elements that shape the social and mental ecology of the rural architecture of Çamlıhemşin.

Abstract

After the Second World War, manufacturing plants were no longer needed for wartime production levels, prompting the closure and repurposing of industrial facilities that became obsolescent overnight across the United States and in the manufacturing region of Southeastern Michigan. Located twenty miles west of Detroit, the Willow Run airfield in Ypsilanti was one such case. Best known for the massive B-24 Liberator manufacturing plant designed by Albert Kahn that opened in 1942 as Air Force Plant 31, the airfield played a key role in ending the war. Just to the south, a Kahn-designed hangar was loosely repurposed in 1946–1947 as a provisional passenger air terminal. A second renovation began in 1955, when the Airlines National Terminal Service Company (ANTSC) commissioned the firm of Yamasaki, Leinweber and Associates (YLA) to complete interior renovations to keep airlines from abandoning the airport in favour of the newer, larger, and more proximate to downtown, Detroit-Wayne Major Airport. Led by project architect Manfredi Nicoletti under the direction of Minoru Yamasaki, the renovation centred on a ceiling of suspended plastic coffers that created a spectacular backdrop against which passengers prepared to take flight. Even as the project came to fruition, it was clear that the future of the air terminal had already passed, and its eventual obsolescence was inevitable. Despite the project’s shortcomings, the interior renovation of the hangar-turned-terminal sheds light on the repurposing of large, flexible buildings and the employment of formal experimentation in the postwar United States.

Abstract

This study addresses the gap between knowledge of adaptable design and the socio-spatial practices within the interior spaces of contemporary domestic settings. The aim is to support the sustainability of residential environments by enhancing the adaptability of dwellings to changing and diverse home life needs. Consequently, this paper delves into design features that enhance the adaptability of interior domestic spaces, informed by everyday family homemaking processes. Through a case study of the Tyneside flat, this paper illustrates challenges of transitioning this flat from Victorian to contemporary family home. Drawing on data gathered using multimodal methods, the findings demonstrate homemaking tactics and adaptable design features enhancing this transformation process. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of contextualising adaptable design to accommodate ongoing socio-spatial negotiations occurring within the interior space of the home. It posits adaptability as crucial for supporting the quality of home experience, emphasising its ethical significance in architectural practice and decision-making processes.
Flex-Spatialities: Interior Spaces, Play, and Fantasy Lozano-Rivera, Camilo

Abstract

This article examines how interior spaces in the digital age have evolved into flexible, adaptive environments shaped by technological mediation and shifting everyday practices. Focusing on smart homes and home offices, this article introduces the concept of flex-spatiality to describe how these spaces continually reconfigure in response to changes in needs and digital interfaces. Grounded in Gregory Bateson’s (1972) theory of play and fantasy, the study explores how interior spatiality operates on two levels: as a locus for expressing identities and as a structure for organising social interaction. Through Bateson’s distinction between metalinguistic and metacommunicative functions, flex-spatiality is framed as a dynamic process where spaces both reflect and shape relational life in recursive ways. A central concern is the challenge of obsolescence, as accelerated technological change limits the long-term adaptability of interior spaces. Such a challenge produces tensions that affect spatial use, social relations, and everyday rhythms. Adopting a post-disciplinary perspective that bridges anthropology, habitat, and spatial theory, the article refers to fantasy as a generative force for reimagining how we inhabit and make sense of interior settings. Ultimately, flex-spatiality provides a framework for understanding interior spaces as active participants in the ongoing negotiation of identities, interactions, and social transformations.
