Description
A History of Interior Design tells the story of 6,000 years of domestic and public space. It's an essential resource for students, professionals, and anyone interested in interior design, the decorative arts, architecture, and art history. It explores a broad range of styles and movements, weaving together a fascinating narrative from cave dwellings and temple architecture, through Gothic cathedrals and Islamic palaces, to modern skyscrapers and the retail spaces of the 21st-century.
This fully updated fifth edition includes more on the contributions of women designers and architects, additional coverage of furniture, product design, and decoration, as well as numerous examples of diverse modern styles from around the world. An extra final chapter focuses on the influence of the latest technology and current thinking on the importance of conservation and ethical sourcing.
This new edition includes 730 images, over 300 of which are new or colour replacements for black and white photos.
