The relation between time and architecture is well established and thoroughly explored in architectural discourse. Despite this, examination of social time has been lacking. This paper draws on a survey of 114 architects, academics and students who responded to general questions about practice and occupational wellbeing. A finding of this study was the diverse attachments that different groups in the architectural community have to the temporal norms and infrastructures of work and of studio. Based on this study, the paper demonstrates the heterogeneity that exists in architecture and how its temporal norms are negotiated. It concludes that exposing the heterogeneity of temporal experience across a discipline reminds us that the norms of time are negotiated. Moreover, the temporal experience of the everyday transcends the notion that architects passively ascribe to long-hours work culture.

This paper argues that ‘affect’ is not just incidental but central to understanding interior territories. The paper is set out in three principal parts. The first sets out the main approaches to understanding affect and territory. The second considers the ways in which affect has become central to understanding interiors. Explored in this section of the paper are two recent publications on interiors Thinking Inside the Box and Interior Atmosphere. The third section sets out a different kind of theorising that might be possible once affect is taken into account alongside the insights from post-structuralist theorisation.
