Domestic Designs: 1400 to the Present. A postgraduate research day
9 Feb 2004

Symposium Registration Deadline: 2004-01-30

This research day will explore the use of the domestic interior from
historical and contemporary perspectives. The event aims to facilitate
exchange between new researchers studying the domestic interior and
domestic objects, encouraging dialogue between designers, anthropologists
and historians. Papers consider designing and organising the home, using
and experiencing the domestic interior, regulating behaviour in the home
and the limitations and possibilities in the design and study of the
interior.

The event will be held at the Royal College of Art on 9 February 2004. It
forms part of an ongoing initiative of the AHRB Centre for the Study of
the Domestic Interior to support an interdisciplinary community of
postgraduates working in fields related to the domestic interior: design,
fine art, anthropology, art history, historical geography and social and
cultural history.

Registration: full price - £15, DHS members - £11, students - £5. Fee
includes sandwich lunch, morning coffee and afternoon tea. Limited funds
may be available to assist with student travel costs, available on a
first-come first-served basis. Please contact the centre for details.
