MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "This book defines the history of modern interior design through the reuse of existing buildings. This approach allows the history of the interior to be viewed as separate from the history of architecture and instead enables the interior to develop its own historical narrative. Following a brief introduction, the book is organized in six chapters on the following themes: home, work, retail, display, leisure and culture. Each chapter comprises a selection of case studies in chronological order. 52 key examples dating from 1900 to the present are explored in terms of context, concept, organization and detail and are illustrated with photographs, plans, sections, concept drawings and sketches. This unique history will be invaluable for students of interior architecture and design seeking a survey tailored especially for them, as well as appealing to interested general readers."

MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "This book will outline a history of interior design as told through fifty exemplary interiors that have been created during the twentieth century. This book will define the history of modern interior design as told through the development of the discipline of re-using existing buildings and spaces. It will outline the history of the development of the subject through a selection of interiors that have been created as autonomous spaces contained within an existing building envelope. Whilst the architectural container is acknowledged, these interiors have been created in an historic and stylistically independent manner. It is these interiors that constitute what might be considered as 'exemplary' forms of interior design. In other words the creation of interior space through reuse, interiors that are created independently of, as opposed to simultaneously with the envelope, involves the creation of the most prototypical forms of interior design. The author acknowledges that the principle will exclude many buildings housing what may be considered as 'classic' examples of modern interior spaces. But it is considered that this approach could allow interior design to separate itself from architectural history, and to develop its own spatial and historical discourse through specific exemplars of interior design."
