ASSIGNMENT 04: MANIFESTO | INTERIORS OF THE FUTURE

A manifesto is typically a text defined by conviction, urgency, and immediacy, seeking to push the domain of words as close as possible to the domain of deeds.The force and persuasion of manifestos appear frequently in the proliferation of injunctions, formulated with modal verbs-must, can, shall, will. The temperature of such injunctions can be modulated considerably, ranging from the imperative to the subjunctive, from command and demand to a more nuanced play between desired and hypothetical states of affairs, between possibility and doubt. Such injunctions often appear in the guise of theses or numbered points; condensing thought with emphatic precision, they concentrate the effort of the text.

If they are often full of points, manifestos are also fond of pointers, those pro­nouns indicating the place and time of utterance, as well as the objects of concern: "here," "now," "today," "this." Such pointers direct the reader toward something outside the text; indeed, the manifesto operates as a special kind of text, drawing the reader's attention to the page in order to direct it immediately back out toward the world. As significant as the pointers are the shifters: personal pronouns like "I," "you," and especially “we." ... We· can mobilize a powerful provisional constituency, proposing forms of solidarity that can allow an individual to appear to be many, yet it is also a pronoun that can disable disagreements and run roughshod over differences.

- “After the Manifesto,” Craig Buckley

OVERVIEW

This is an opportunity to develop a position on the role of interiors and/or interior designers in society. Applying what you’ve learned in this class and in this program, you will make a claim about what an interior of the future might be. This will take the form. of a video manifesto.

Note: all process, including copies of each team members’ reading responses, should be posted to the assignment MIRO.

Be careful to label your own contributions with your name.

Part 01: research & ideation (INDIVIDUAL)_due C11 (4.15)

Start considering the nature/ focus of your MANIFESTO.

a. Start making a list of some of the issues most important to your design practice (especially those that you’d be interested in pursuing as part of your thesis, post-graduate studies, or career). List at least 10. They do not have to be unified.

 - if you get stuck, work/read ahead & circle back.

Follow the instructions found in the description for A1c Reading Response & produce an annotation.

c.

Pick an existing manifesto as a guide- you may select any referenced in the C11 recommended reading lists. Produce an annotation.

Note: Review class syllabus for AI use. It is highly recommended that large-language models are not used for research without verifying results (see class links & resources doc for guidelines). LLMs like ChatGPT & Claude. ai are frequently inaccurate. Use conventionally-legitimized (aka published) sources to authenticate primary research.

Part 02: find your team/ develop your position_ begun in-class C11 (4.15)

Using your initial interests as a guide, we will form. groups of 3-4 members.

Each group will determine a single topic to develop into a manifesto. The topic should address: what needs to change (and why)? It may begin to answer the question: how should it change?

- Each group must have a different topic (no duplicates).

What is your vision for interiors of the future? How does this kind of interior support human agency? What kinds of interiors will we need in order to support this society?  Focus on the aspects of human behavior. or social issues that are most important to you.

One option: select a case-study (a space, or type of space or a particular designer’s practice) as a way to illustrate the manifesto. A case-study might illustrate the condition that needs to change, or it might represent a potential solution.

What needs to change about (for example) housing in NYC or the way interior public spaces are legislated or how sustainability is taught in design schools? Is anyone leading the way?

Remember interiors may be according to concepts explored in the class and do not have to follow a traditional definition.

Remember that many conditions are time, culture and/or context specific (example: issues in contemporary NYC housing would not be identical to those in Jakarta, or in NYC in the 19^th century, etc.). Is there a particular city, nation, continent, or framework through which you’ll explore your condition?

Things to think about:

What economic, social, and political dynamics impact the conditions your team is exploring?

As a team, you should explore your topic with a critical light, using your research and critique to inspire a manifesto that will inherently challenge the ways these topics/ spaces/ praxis create societies.

_due C12 (4.22)
Each team member should select a text to support developing the topic- these might be factual in nature, or additional theoretical texts. You MAY look at sources from journalism or popular forms of writing, if those are the most appropriate for your topic.  Each team member should produce an annotation, using A1c Reading Response as a guide.

Refine your topic, based on your reading & feedback.

- recommended: continue narrowing the context for the manifesto. Again, it could be considered at the scale of a single room, a plot, the city, the country, or the planet.

Write a series of short paragraphs (a minimum of 1 paragraph per team member, 5-6: ideal) elaborating on the conditions that create these interiors. Each paragraph should link extra-disciplinary changes (economic, social, political, technological) to disciplinary changes (changes in the nature of space, interiority, or practice).

- Cite the sources for evidence to support your points. Do NOT generate these paragraphs with a large-language modelAI. Uncited writing will suggest the use of LLMs.

For each paragraph, write a short summary or bullet point.

Make a presentation with five slides. Each slide should contain images that illustrate a paragraph. Use your bullet points as captions.

Part 03: development & representation_ begun in-class C12 (4.22)

Refine/ adjust your 5 points in response to your developing research & feedback received.

Write your manifesto: develop the text as a script. for your video presentation.

Develop a storyboard, a device used in film to plan a sequence: make/ find & post images to sketch out your plans for your video.

Post all process to MIRO.

_due C13 (4.29)

Each team member should select a text to support developing the topic- these might be factual in nature, or additional theoretical texts. You MAY look at sources from journalism or popular forms of writing, if those are the most appropriate for your topic.  Each team member should produce an annotation, using A1c Reading Response as a guide.

Refine manifesto.

Produce a draft of the video manifesto.

- still images + reading from notes OK for draft

Required for final:

- length: 1.5 minutes of length for every team member (3 team members: 4.5 minute video/ 4 team members: 6 minute video)

o video: can be a slideshow with fades | can be existing video clips (with citation) | can be AI generated (with

- Your 5 points should be clearly represented (and supported)

- Include full names of all team members in the opening portion of the film.

- Cite all video and audio clip sources (Pratt rules on citation/plagiarism apply to films, too). Attributions should be visible on-screen as the video plays (not just listed at the end). Any AI-generated imagery should be identified on-screen, as it plays and  the platform. + the prompt used to generate said media should be listed in the bibliography.

- A full bibliography should be presented as a document posted to MIRO. A list of sources should be included within the video itself, as well.

- Post link to video on MIRO
