Announcing IFI WID 2020: “Nexus Interiors”
JOIN THE CELEBRATION ON 23 MAY 2020
(celebrations take place throughout the entire month)
Member-Selected Theme – IFI WID 2020: NEXUS INTERIORS
Exploring the connection of the built environment to shaping relationships and human behavior, Interior Architects/Designers have the ability to push all boundaries. Using this year’s theme of ‘Nexus Interiors‘ for inspiration, play with and plan activities which showcase and spotlight your work and the value of our important discipline.
In 2020, IFI World Interiors Day (IFI WID) asks us to address the relationships that make up our interior spaces; to explore new links and understand the wider network of Interiors’ influence, and to seek out new opportunities for positive impact through Interior Architecture/Design.
For IFI WID 2020, we invite you to explore these ties – be it in your interior spaces, communities, or internationally – through the lens of ‘Nexus Interiors’. Within these relationships, networks and experiences, consider how interiors play a role in connecting our everyday lives.
Feel free to conceptualize and organize an event, bringing together colleagues, students, neighbors and your community as we make Interiors accessible to the public. Design an experience, connect people, places or objects in a fresh way. Plan a block party or host a meal. Make a meme, create a podcast or share a hashtag.
Some starting points for your creative exploration include:
- Past and Present – preserving or creating new connections across time
- Tangible & Intangible – shaping the material through movement, force and use
- Impact & Influence – the potential to empower and impact performance
- Necessity / Pleasure – evolving for changing needs and behaviors
- Shift / Innovation – creating new connections and questioning the status quo
- Public / Private – blurring the boundaries of access and visibility
- Visual / Auditory – our connection to space through the senses
A federation of national associations, with a broad base of institutional and industry membership, IFI exists to uplift, support and connect a profession which elevates life-quality and well-being of all. IFI World Interiors Day provides communities internationally the opportunity to collectively explore a theme, connect with their local design community, and showcase the value and impact of Interiors at all levels. Plan to participate today!
IFI WID 2020 is celebrated around the world throughout the entire month of May, and is officially recognized on Saturday, 23 May 2020.
