HEAD – Genève and its Space Design department present Nothing About Interior Architecture on the occasion of Milano Design Week 2026. This publication brings together fifteen years of projects developed within the department. It will be presented on Tuesday, April 22, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at Dropcity, Milan, by Javier Fernández Contreras, Head of the Interior Architecture department, and Youri Kravtchenko, EPFL-trained architect, professor at HEAD – Genève and founder of Ykra.
 

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.

Contributions from Camille Bagnoud, Ahmed Belkhodja, Valentina De Luigi, Valentin Dubois, David Fagart, Javier Fernández Contreras, Line Fontana, Jan Dominik Geipel, Jean-Pierre Greff, Simon Husslein, Youri Kravtchenko, Paule Perron, Philippe Rahm, Vera Sacchetti, Leonid Slonimskiy, Bertrand Van Dorp, Daniel Zamarbide, Roberto Zancan.
