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

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.

Abstract

Historic interiors are unique repositories of memory, yet conventional reuse practices often fail to grasp their cultural complexity, prioritising formal interventions over lived experience. Dominant strategy-based frameworks for reuse struggle to capture the incremental, user-led adaptations that define these lived interiors. This paper addresses these limitations through a case study of the community-led revival of Harat al-Aqr, Oman. Methodologically, it reframes Alexander et al.'s (1977) pattern language as an interpretive lens for analysing the incremental evolution and embedded cultural intelligence of lived interiors. The research synthesises subjective narrative writing with analytical patterns, revealing that the significance of such spaces lies in their ‘livedness’ and the interconnected network of user-led spatial practices that exist within them. The patterns identified, such as Living Roof, Expanded Dwelling, and Mutual Dependencies, are presented as a way to capture and embody this user agency and cultural logic tangibly. The paper thus concludes by advocating a new approach to interior reuse, especially in environments that have undergone incremental changes or vernacular adaptations. It proposes a shift from imposing preconceived strategies to first interpreting the logic of existing use patterns, thereby offering a more responsive approach to engaging with historic interiors as living environments.

Abstract

The disciplines of interior architecture and interior design operate within a world characterised by constant changes. Projecting the future of the interior requires an understanding of how the discipline and practice can manoeuvre exquisitely within such complexities. It calls for design scholarship that promotes resilience as a key condition for responding to constant changes. The interior demonstrates resilience through its capacity to sustain culture, humanistic values, and local sociospatial practices, allowing it to navigate the dynamics of global flux. A call for interior resilience presents an opportunity for interior practices grounded in humanistic and cultural approaches to address uncertainties, instability, and alternative trajectories. This issue of Interiority highlights a series of inquiries and approaches to establish resilience through humanistic and cultural perspectives on interiority. They highlight the interior as a lived environment that manifests changes, sociocultural dynamics, and embodied experiences. They demonstrate the possibilities to produce interiority that promotes the built environment’s resilience, enhancing interior practice’s role toward social and cultural responsibility.

Abstract

Hong Kong's dense urban environment, constrained housing, and relentless tempo of everyday life create a context in which solitude is both scarce and valued. This article develops the concept of solitary interiority to capture how moments of solitude in public space generate interiority as a relational condition through the interplay of bodies, atmospheres, and cultural norms. Drawing on ethnographic interviews and multisensory experiential reflection, the article demonstrates how solitary interiority arises from the blurring of boundaries between the domestic and the urban, the self and others, and the private and the public. Individuals extend certain home-like qualities into public spaces, mobilising everyday objects and tacit sensory strategies to negotiate personal boundaries while remaining socially proximate in dense urban contexts. At the same time, solitary interiority operates as a subtle form of urban resilience. Rather than emphasising the qualities of the spaces themselves, individuals frame solitude in relation to urban rhythms and situational transitions, including what they have just endured and what awaits them. Solitary moments offer a vital pause amidst work demands, crowded transport, noisy streets, and the anticipated lack of privacy in cramped domestic environments. In this sense, solitary interiority is both a spatial and psychological quality, enabling urban dwellers to negotiate and build resilience amidst the pressures of high-density urban life.

Abstract

How the interior environment affects autistic people has been studied in settings such as education and healthcare. However, significant work has not been done in evaluating the effect of prison interiors on autistic inmates who may be hypersensitive, especially to light and sound. The purpose of this study was to determine how autistic inmates cope in a noisy, crowded environment that is not designed for them and that they cannot control. This qualitative research used grounded theory to interview five autistic inmates at a medium-security state prison for men in the US to find out their lived experience in prison. Through successive rounds of coding, dominant themes emerged from the data. Findings were that sound, light, and crowded situations beyond their control adversely affected autistic prisoners. Conversely, some found comfort in the routine of prison life. The implications of this research are that prison designers should consider providing more control over lighting, sound mitigation, and a retreat space for autistic inmates. This exploratory study expands our knowledge of how prison interiors adversely affect autistic inmates. It underscores the importance of future research into designing environments that support the needs of autistic individuals beyond education and healthcare settings.
Neuroscience and Humanism in Norman Foster's Architecture Ferris, Francisco Javier Lahuerta; Soriano, Bartolomé Serra

Abstract

The work of Norman Foster, often labelled as 'high-tech,' is renowned for its structural expressionism and technological rationalism. However, it is grounded in the conception of a unified whole in which science, technology, and the humanities are inseparable facets that shape both human beings and the spaces they design and inhabit. This article analyses the correlations between the new paradigms established by neuroscience and the design principles of Foster's architecture: the integral conception of reality, optimisation, and energy balance (homeostasis) as survival factors guiding decisions, and the role of perception, emotions, and feelings in the creation and evaluation of architectural and interior design solutions that lift the quality of our lives. This interdisciplinary approach rediscovers Foster's architecture and interior design within a visionary underlying framework of belief and subjectivity, driven by collective narratives and material practices that, through design, intimately connect energy transformations with human happiness. In this convergence are science, technology, sustainability, art, ethics, aesthetics, and happiness, understood as a non-separable unified whole. From this research, an interpretative framework is proposed that repositions technologically advanced architecture within studies of interiority and subjectivity, highlighting its transformative impact.

Abstract

This study examines space modification in one-bedroom-plus condominium units in Bangkok, focusing on the relationship between Generation Y’s characteristics and how they adapt interior layouts to suit their lifestyles. While previous research has addressed flexible housing in general, few studies have focused specifically on how Generation Y modifies space within condominium units to accommodate their needs in the Bangkok context. The study analysed 7,596 one-bedroom-plus units developed in Bangkok and modified by 44 architectural stakeholders to reflect Generation Y's preferences. Using function, partition, and floor indicators, and applying k-means cluster analysis, six spatial modification approaches were identified: open-space layouts, functional space redistribution, comprehensive space reconfiguration, selective partition reconfiguration, integrated bedroom and multifunctional room, and flexible space division. These approaches reveal patterns in how Generation Y negotiates openness, privacy, multifunctionality, and regulatory constraints. The findings contribute to interiority scholarship by demonstrating how Generation Y residents in Bangkok actively shape one-bedroom-plus condominium units to balance openness, privacy, multifunctionality, and regulatory limits. These insights inform flexible residential design that supports ongoing reconfiguration without compromising building integrity, offering guidance for residents, developers, and policymakers towards resilient, user-centred urban living.
