Includes bibliographical references and index.
This book tells the story of 6,000 years of domestic and public space. The author acknowledges that interior design is a field with unclear boundaries, in which construction, architecture, decoration, technology, and production design all overlap. These topics are woven together in a narrative that runs from cave dwellings and temple architecture, through Gothic cathedrals and Renaissance palaces, to the grand civic spaces of the nineteenth century and the sleek interiors of modern skyscrapers. Within social and political context, detailed discussions of famous buildings, from the Parthenon to the Pompidou Centre, are interspersed with investigations of the domestic vernacular - the cottages, farmhouses, apartments, and any city terraces inhabited by ordinary people. The evolution of interior design is made more accessible through the inclusion of CD-ROM with interactive timeline.
