About this event
How should interiors respond to climate change, resource use and species other than humans? This roundtable with Philippe Rahm, Paola Antonelli, Mireia Luzárraga and Javier Fernández Contreras considers buildings’ internal spaces as parts of larger ecological systems. The program also presents an installation developed by HEAD–Genève’s interior architecture program, using reusable and dismantlable structures to explore circular design. Discussion is followed by networking.
