内容简介:A History of Interior Design tells the story of 6,000 years of domestic and public
space. This fully updated fourth edition includes a completely new chapter on 21stcentury
interior design and a heavily revised chapter on the late 20th century.
Interior design is a field that includes construction, architecture, furniture,
decoration, technology and product design. This one-volume history weaves
together these topics in a fascinating 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.
Embedded in a social and political context, detailed discussions of famous
buildings, from the cathedrals to Koolhaas, are interspersed with investigations of
the domestic vernacular – the cottages, farmhouses, apartments and city terraces
inhabited by ordinary people.
The new edition of this bestselling history includes over 50 new images and many
previously black and white images updated to colour.
作者简介:John Pile was Professor of Design at the renowned Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, for most of his teaching career. He is the author of 12 books on furniture, colour, draughtsmanship, office planning and other aspects of interior design.
