Inhabiting Risk: IDEA Conference 2007Risk is "a situation involving exposure to danger."
It is the thing which comes into play with every possibility of something progressive or challenging.
Risk is a recipe for making, and engaging with strangeness.
Risk can be denied, suppressed, or encouraged and cherished.
Risk can be productive or utterly destructive.
Risk chances failure, but it also chances success.
Without risk the world enters mediocrity.
The conference theme, Inhabiting Risk, asks participants to engage in a forensic analysis of risk in the context of the education and practice of interior design and interior architecture.
It argues that this accountancy-prone era needs a re-evaluation of risk.
Can true progression and intellectual play occur without risk? Can progressive interior design / architecture be taught in a context of safety, hesitancy and conservatism?
How can risk be inhabited in the avoidance of mediocre design, teaching and research?
Inhabiting Risk is a five day symposium consisting of conference papers and workshops, to be held on and within the fault lines of Wellington, that aims to bring together Interior Design and Interior Architecture students, academics, practioners and other interested parties to entertain the potentials for design and inhabitation.
