Designing the Spaces for Living

Tuesday, October 13 | 6:30 PM
Roger Williams Gateway Center | 1197 Broad St, Providence, RI 02905

What role does interior design play in shaping the way we live, work, gather, and feel? This edition of Clambake: Creative Conversations explores how the environments that surround us can influence our experiences, emotions, and sense of connection.

French philosopher Gaston Bachelard wrote, “The house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.” Building on this idea, the conversation will feature two interior designers whose work considers not only how spaces look, but how they make us feel and what they make possible.

Through their work, we’ll explore how interior design can create spaces for daydreaming, productivity, restoration, and community connection. From private homes to shared environments, the conversation will consider how designers respond to the needs, behaviors, and aspirations of the people who inhabit the spaces they create.

Join us for an evening of short talks and conversation as we explore how thoughtful interior design can shape everyday experiences and transform the spaces where we live.

THE VENUE

The Roger Williams Park Gateway Center
1197 Broad St, Providence, RI 02905

As its name suggets, the Roger Williams Park Gateway Center serves as a gateway from Broad Street to Roger Williams Park’s many recreational opportunities, greatly improving the lens through which park visitors see the Washington Park and surrounding neighborhoods, and how neighbors view their connection to the park.

Working closely with non-profit partners, including the Roger Williams Park Conservancy, the Met School, Johnson & Wales University, GoProvidence, and many others, visitors are able to access information about the many free public events, amenities, and services in Roger Williams Park, the surrounding neighborhoods, and along the Broad Street Corridor.
