The MAIA Diploma Show 2023 invites visitors to delve into the intricate interplay between the natural, artificial, and digital realms within the contemporary built environment. Titled "INTERIOR ECOLOGIES," the exhibition explores how ecology is shaping the discipline of Interior Architecture in the 21st century. The interpretation of this theme was intentionally left open for students, resulting in projects that address environmentally responsible construction, ecology, reuse, energy efficiency, social and political urgencies, as well as novel materials and technologies.
Visitors will have the opportunity to witness a diverse range of projects in terms of scale, typology, location, and complexity. These include a refugee shelter crafted from mushrooms, a communal neighborhood kitchen in Geneva, the transformation of a water tank into housing in India, the creation of a new social center facilitating the exchange of reused materials, a furniture collection derived from repurposed office carpets, and numerous other projects that express the pressing need for a transformative paradigm in architectural production.
