Conference Highlights :Welcome | Domesticity Under Siege
International Architecture Conference April 2025, University of Brighton. 'Domesticity Under Siege' organised by Interior Architecture BA(Hons) Brighton.

Hosted by the BA(Hons) Interior Architecture course at the School of Architecture Technology and Engineering, University of Brighton
At a recent launch of the book ‘Domesticity Under Siege’, Georgina Downey, one of the editors explained:
“I guess we were tired of how the last vestiges of ‘home as haven’ seem to still cling, unquestioned, behind a lot of even recent writing on modern domesticity. They seem to cling in ways that don’t reflect the current fragile state of interiors, and the homes that envelope them, in these troubled global times.”
The words ‘Domesticity’ and ‘Interior’ welded together summon thoughts and ideas about domestic space, including boundaries, enclosure and control. Collectively they generated the material for the book. However, as Downey also cautioned:
“Domesticity is not home, home is not a house, and the house is not interior and domesticity is none of them!”
