Visiting architecture professor Tiziana Proietti recently participated in a panel discussion entitled “Crafting Minimalism: Human Space in a Digital world,” hosted by Rizzoli New York. She was joined on the panel by Dan Howarth, U.S. editor of Dezeen, the design magazine listed on Time magazine’s “Design 100” list of the “most influential forces in global design,” and interior designer Magdalena Keck. The well-attended event featured a discussion about “how interior design can succeed in embracing minimalism while maintaining a human and tactile environment in an age dominated by virtual interactions.”
For more about Proietti’s research related to minimalist interior design, check out her recent book, Pied-a-Terre.
