Call for Papers: Idea Journal 2026 – Interior Futures

How do we make sense of where we are and where we are going?

The 2026 issue of Idea Journal seeks contributions that critically examine concepts of interior futures. In the history of spatial design, what examples illustrate the limits of future planning in reflecting the diversity of both human and non-human inhabitants who come to occupy interior spaces and make them their own? What alternative modes of designing exist that de-author the designer, privilege co-creation, and welcome unprecedented forms of difference in how we conceive and make interior spaces? What other methods of futuring accept uncertainty, engage complexity, and look beyond the limits of proposing future betterment through prediction and strategic foresight? What alternative ways of using interior images and drawings go beyond envisaging imaginaries that inadvertently intend to determine and control?
