As we begin to slowly approach the end of the season, I am in conversation with Joseph Marchbank who is currently a post-graduate researcher in Architecture and Urban Design at The University of Cambridge exploring IKEA’s expansion into Indian Cities on an urban and domestic scale. We explore urban and residential forms, along with the socio-economic implications of IKEA’s retail presence in India. A very interested conversation, with many mutli-geographic conceptions of home, leisure and labour across different value systems. Join in on our conversation!
