History of Interior DesignWiley, 10 oct. 2000 - 400 pages This book "delivers the inside story on 6,000 years of personal and public space. The author acknowledges that interior design is a field with unclear boundaries, in which construction, architecture, the arts and crafts, technology and product design all overlap. These topics are woven together in a fascinating narrative that runs from cave dwellings and temple architecture, through Gothic cathedrals and Renaissance palaces on to the grand civic spaces of the nineteenth century and the sleek interiors of modern sky scrapers." - book jacket. |
