Our BA (Honours) Interiors students, too, have excelled in extending their range of investigations as a review of the work of Russell Jones illustrates. The design work of this student encompasses furniture, exhibition, film, the materiality of interior space and manipulation of the public realm. It demonstrates both the student’s personal aspirations as a rounded interior designer and those of our undergraduate Interiors Programmes.
A new and expanding area of research within the School is provided by the growing cohort of PhD students under the tutelage of Professor Gordana Fontana-Giusti. They have broadened further the legitimate territories for investigation and their contribution in challenging convention and provoking debate is acknowledged by both staff and students in the School. The body of work represented by our yearbook is powerful and wideranging, and describes the experience of students who were prepared to experiment and take risks – I hope that you enjoy it.
