TOWARDS AN INTERIOR ORNAMENT: Working at FELT / franje
Tuesday 18/03/25 18:30 (ENG)
Auditorium A4 Alexianenplein, Ghent + open bar
‘Towards an Interior Ornament’ explores the evolving role of ornament in interior architecture. Drawing from the work of FELT architecture & design and franje, I examine what constitutes a contemporary ornament, challenging traditional definitions and uncovering its relevance in today’s interiors. The lecture reflects on ornament as a narrative and spatial design tool, illustrating its application in practice.
