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.
