Lucy Marlor

Lucy’s research interests lie in the adaptive re-use and re-purposing of existing architecture and interiors, how we may better utilise unused or ruinous spaces, and most recently the changing nature of the interior and the conceptually and experientially elusive state of “interiority”.
