Students across all disciplines are invited to participate in interdisciplinary exchange. Be inspired and get to know new perspectives!
About the lecture series
The Interior Architecture Talks at the Faculty of Architecture and Design, Berlin International University of Applied Sciences, address the theme "Interior Architecture. Autonomy and Interdisciplinary Relations.“
Four international speakers present their work and discuss with respondents from Germany – focusing on core topics like adaptive reuse, the theorization of the interior discipline, the notion of interiority, and interior design’s relationship to architecture.
The lecture series "Interior Architecture. Autonomy and Interdisciplinary Relations" is supported by Netzwerk Architekturwissenschaft e.V. with funding from Sutor-Stiftung.
The Fall 2022/23 Interior Architecture Talks are an online series, partially hybrid, and open to the public.
About Bie Plevoets
Bie Plevoets studied Interior Architecture in Hasselt and Conservation of Monuments and Sites at the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation in Leuven. She obtained a Ph.D. in adaptive reuse, approached from an interior perspective. Her research focuses on adaptive reuse theory. She has worked on the concept of genius loci in relation to adaptive reuse, and on various conceptual strategies to intervene in the existing fabric such as aemulatio, vernacular adaptation, and façadism. She is currently an assistant professor in the research group Trace and a senior postdoctoral fellow of the FWO Flanders, working on a project entitled ‘Reusing the Ruin: Building upon the fragmentary fabric’. She is the author of the book ‘Adaptive Reuse of the Built Heritage: Concepts and Cases of an Emerging Discipline’, co-authored by Koenraad Van Cleempoel (Routledge, 2019) and teaches the Theory Module in the International Master Adaptive Reuse.
About the talk
In her Interior Architecture Talk, Bie Plevoets will present aspects of her publication Adaptive Reuse of the Built Heritage. Concepts and Cases of an Emerging Discipline (Routledge 2019, with Koenraad van Cleempoel) with a particular focus on the historical development of adaptive reuse and its relevance for interior architecture in relation to architecture and conservation.
