The interior can be seen as a series of layers that wrap and enclose the body, materializing in forms that span clothing to architecture. These layers are presented as a diagram that act as the foundation for this talk whereby projects presented start at the scale of the body and end at the threshold of interior and exterior. The works presented are not tied to one discipline, rather, they cross over and inform new strategies for shaping the interior by referencing the shared language of construction notations, fabrication techniques, and natural forces. What comes to the surface are concepts that bridge one discipline to another and establishes a theo-retical position for the making of interiors.

Initiative of the programme of Interior Architecture on the occasion of the PhD defence of Inge Somers.

Lois Weinthal received her Master of Architecture from Cranbrook Academy of Art and Bachelor of Architec-ture from the Rhode Island School of Design. Previously, she was Director of the Interior Design Program at Parsons The New School for Design and Graduate Advisor for the Master of Interior Design Program in the School of Architecture at The University of Texas at Austin. Currently she is Chair of and Professor at the Ryer-son School of Interior Design at the Ryerson University. Lois Weinthal’s practice investigates the relationship between architecture, interiors, clothing and objects, resulting in works that take on an experimental nature. She is (co-)author of some seminal publications, such as Toward a New Interior: An Anthology of Interior Design Theory (2011), which organizes the interior as a series of layers that surround the body; After Taste: Expanded Practice in Interior Design with Kent Kleinman and Joanna Merwood-Salisbury (2011); and the publication The Interior Design Handbook, co-edited with Graeme Brooker (2013).
