IDEA JOURNAL CALL FOR PAPERS

Academics, research students and practitioners are invited to submit design research papers and critical project works that engage with interior design/interior architecture theory and practice for the IDEA JOURNAL 2010.

Deadline for registration of interest: 7 June 2010. Final date for submission of full papers, 3 September 2010.

West 86th: A Journal of Decorative arts, Design History, and Material Culture

Publication, in print and online, is a major part of the BGC’s intellectual project. For fifteen years, the BGC has published Studies in the Decorative Arts, an internationally acclaimed journal covering the decorative arts, design history, and material culture.

We are planning to substantially re-think Studies in the Decorative Arts after its Fall 2009 issue.
