Architects create barriers to external space that can have both a physical and psychological impact on users.
This RIBAJ + Knauf Clerkenwell seminar will examine contemporary design considerations for the relationship between exterior and interior space.
Expert panellists will discuss how to achieve a meaningful connection between the two and why it is important. Do architects consider views, materials and connections to the outdoors when they create internal spaces? How do you develop a relationship between interior and exterior space?
