Interior Futures Research Hub

About us

Our aim is to create and nurture an international research network across 3 global universities expanding knowledge bases situated in and around interior design. Sharing and learning from Research Knowledge Exchange (RKE) networks that already exist within each partner university to better support our research staff and students.

The Interior Futures Research Hub exists within Camberwell College of Arts and Chelsea College of Arts. The hub will expand knowledge through 3 key areas of practice based research:

Practicing climate emergencies
Expanding communities of interior practices
Sensing spaces.

Several people from different backgrounds and ethnicities are around a table. On the table, there is a map and one person plotting a pin on the map — **Festival of community organising mapping workshop.**
