The Constructive Curtain Project

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Deborah Schneiderman & Annie Coggan

The Constructive Curtain Project works in collaboration with architecture to generate more performative interiors. The curtain is capable of bridging the divide between architecture and interior design by generating more habitable environments. This divide has been recognized since the eighteenth-century when upholsterers and architects diverged in their appreciation for the hard versus soft and the permanent versus impermanent. The disciplines grew further apart in the nineteenth-century with the emergence of the professional decorator causing architects to perceive that their well-articulated spaces were being corrupted.1
