Staged Realities: Spaces Between Reflection and Repression

“Staged Realities: Spaces Between Reflection and Repression" explores how architecture and interior design are more than mere shells of everyday life. Spaces reflect societal processes, yet they can also become stages for avoidance — places that aesthetically stage postponement and procrastination. The lecture raises the question of whether design compels us to confront reality or offers us sophisticated escapes into alternative realities.
