The Memory Palace: Telling the Story of the Interior

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract / Description of output

This book chapter originated as an invited keynote paper at the Interior Educators 'Interior Futures 'conference at Northumbria University in 2011. The paper was blind peer revwied for publication.

The content of the paper represents a process of reflection on my practice as a writer and the designer of narrative structures and building stories, and in it, for the first time, I was able to articulate the relationship between the narrative structures of my first book 'The Secret Lives of Buildings' and my second 'The Memory Palace', explsoring how literary and spatial form can model one another.

My invitation to speak at Interior Futures, the inaugural research conference of Interior Edcators, the UK wide interiors academic forum, is also the result of my role in the foundation of the Interiors Forum Scotland, which predated its UK wide successor by several years, and provided a model for this conference.
