Freud Museum London Day Conference

Freud’s youngest son Ernst was an architect, and Freud himself created the ‘analytic situation’ as, in essence, an architectural space. This conference brings together practitioners and theorists from architecture, art and psychoanalysis to think about the emotional experience of architecture and architectural spaces. In home, theatre, church, museum and contemporary art, architecture and mental space interact in ways that indicate the role of unconscious processes in the built environment.
