On 8th June Harriet chaired a session at ‘Building-Object-Design-Architecture: exploring interconnections‘ at Birkbeck College. The conference set about exploring old, new and future interconnections between Design History and Architectural History. It addressed the disciplines’ shared historiography, theory, forms of analysis and objects of critical enquiry, and drew attention to how recent developments in the one could have significant implications for the other. Harriet chaired a session on the theme of ‘Interiors’, with contributions from Panagiotis Doudesis (Pembroke College, Cambridge) on ‘Between micro- and macro-: The design of an ephemeral construction for a nocturnal divertissement at Versailles in the summer of 1674’, Aurora Laurenti (University of Turin) on ‘Design and Decoration in Rococo carved interiors’ and Alistair Cartwright (Birkbeck) on ‘Partitioning Practices in Postwar London Interiors, c. 1960’.
