Synopsis

Theorising Interior Architecture and Design. Identity, Practices, Education, and Beyond looks at interior architecture and design from a contemporary and international perspective. The book takes theory building to be one of the most important activities for a discipline. It explores the interior discipline's theoretical dimension and its pedagogical, professional and creative practices in different settings across the globe.

Organised in four thematic sections and an epilogue, twenty chapters discuss vital aspects of contemporary interior architecture and design. How has the interior discipline, which for decades has been classified as 'emerging' or 'relatively young', over the past decades 'come of age' academically, in practice, and in theory? Why is the identity of interiors a complex issue, and how does this relate to theoretical concepts like surface, interior/exterior, or time? How can we think about the different roles of creative and professional practice - or about interior education and the way it reflects and shapes interior identities? And what lies beyond supposed disciplinary boundaries?

Theorising Interior Architecture and Design brings together twenty-eight leading, established and emerging interior educators, researchers, theorists and professionals who connect seventeen countries on four continents. Detailed studies of culturally specific interior histories, regional educational perspectives and national professional frameworks are complemented by authoritative theoretical discussions. The book's scrutinising discourse provides a compelling theorisation of interiors as a multi-lingual, culturally situated discipline. It is essential reading for everyone concerned with interiors - practising, studying or working in educational and professional institutions.
