Nothing About Interior Architecture explores archives, documents, and design processes from projects designed and built by students of the Space Design Department at HEAD – Genève between 2010 and 2025.
Often dissident, sometimes adherent, Nothing About is, in essence, indefinable because it is adaptive and fluid. Speculative or hands-on, this discipline, if we can call it that, displays all the ambivalences of our contemporary lifestyles: superficial and profound, profane and divine, present everywhere and nowhere, and often regarded as futile, even though it could nonetheless destroy the most beautiful of insides. This book brings together a variety of intellectual tools and insights, polysemic and ambiguous, bespoke and improvised, ornamental and criminal, spanning media, technology, the arts, and other often undefined fields, that analyze the impact of the discipline on contemporary design.
In the end, what makes Nothing About charming is that this inside, inasmuch as it is still defined as such, has only the humble ambition of accompanying beings, both animate and inanimate, within their environment, like a friend who is never far away.
