A Microsymposium on “Interior Architecture”
as part of the 16th Annual International Conference on Architecture
6-10 July 2026, Athens, Greece
The Architecture & Design Unit of the Athens Institute is organizing a Microsymposium on “Interior Architecture” as part of the 16th Annual International Conference on Architecture, 6-10 July 2026, Athens, Greece sponsored by the Athens Journal of Architecture.
This microsymposium seeks to explore emerging dialogues, theoretical frameworks, and design practices that are redefining the interior as a site of cultural, social, and ecological engagement. We welcome abstracts that address topics such as adaptive reuse, sustainability, digital fabrication, immersive technologies, spatial politics, post-pandemic interior environments, materiality, and the narrative potential of interior space. Interdisciplinary approaches and contributions in interior architecture, design, history, and related fields are encouraged.
You may participate as a presenter of one paper and/or an attendee.
Please submit an abstract (by email only) to: atiner@atiner.gr, using the abstract submission form by 2 December 2025 to: Dr. Atlihan Onat Karacali, Research Fellow, Architecture & Design Unit, Athens Institute and Lecturer, University of Lancashire, UK. Abstracts should include the following details: Title of Paper, Full Name (s), Affiliation, Current Position, an email address, and at least 3 keywords that best describe the subject of your submission. Decisions are reached within 4 weeks.
Fee structure information is available on www.atiner.gr/fees.
From the Athens Institute’s long experience these events bring together scholars from different countries and disciplines which may result to research collaborations and joint publications. These events include a pragmatic symposium (as organized in Ancient Athens but fine-tuned to synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, a Mycenae visit, an Athens educational walking tour, a day trip to Delphi, and an ancient Corinth and Cape Sounion visit. Details of the social program are available here.
