As interior designers, the urban landscape can easily be considered an expansion of our discipline’s purview. For me, Toronto’s laneways, where rows of closed garage doors would open up during warmer months, offered my first vivid link of the interior with urban dynamism. The sweet aromas from summer kitchens and the fall preserving rituals taking place in these spaces added to the dynamic nature of these otherwise latent urban spaces. The stewing of tomatoes harvested from backyards, the roasting of peppers, and even winemaking occurred while children invented and created their own playgrounds under the watchful eyes of extended family. These makeshift spaces and interiors softened the boundaries of the outside and the inside. Later, as I entered my formal years of education, I sat on a bench in New York’s Central Park and watched people as they lined up at a food cart for their morning coffee and bagel. My newly formed interior design vocabulary kicked in to configure the objects making spaces, assessing proxemics and the invisible walls creating entering and exiting modalities of the stand-alone cart.

时光之城：临时都市主义与城市的未来

作为室内设计师，城市景观很容易被认为是我们学科范围的扩展。对我来说，多伦多的巷道，在温暖的月份里，一排排关闭的车库门会打开，为我提供了室内与城市活力的第一个生动联系。来自夏季厨房的甜美香气和在这些空间中进行的秋季保存仪式增加了这些原本潜在的城市空间的动态特性。从后院收获的西红柿的炖煮，辣椒的烤制，甚至酿酒发生在孩子们在大家庭的注视下发明和创造自己的游乐场时。这些临时空间和内部软化了外部和内部的界限。后来，当我进入正规教育阶段时，我坐在纽约中央公园的长凳上，看着人们在餐车前排队准备早上的咖啡和百吉饼。我新形成的室内设计词汇开始配置物体，创造空间，评估 proxemics 和无形的墙壁，创造独立购物车的进出模式。作为一名在 East In terio rs DOI 工作的研究生：10 .1 08 0/ 20 41 91 12 .2 01 9. 16 16 92 4
