Interior decorating in nineteenth-century France
This book explores the beginnings of the interior design profession in nineteenth-century France. Drawing on a wealth of visual sources, from collecting and advice manuals to pattern books and department store catalogues, it demonstrates how new forms of print media were used to 'sell' the idea of the unified interior as a total work of art, enabling the profession of interior designer to take shape. In observing the dependence of the trades on the artistic and public visual appeal of their work, the book establishes crucial links between the fields of art history, material and visual culture, and design history.

Distinctly modern interiors
\"The first book by AD 100 designer Emily Summers, featuring interiors that celebrate a new idea of American modernism. Weaving mid-century Continental furniture and modern art by the likes of Frank Stella and Jasper Johns into important American homes, Summers has created a vast collection of cohesive, covetable interiors notable for their streamlined beauty. From a contemporary city penthouse to a 1940s ranch, from Summers' Round House, to her 60s Palm Springs getaway, the homes featured range in period and style, but all will serve as inspiration to readers looking to decorate in a Modernist tradition. Summers shares her building blocks of a great modernist house: how the interior should reflect its setting; how to combine fine art with design; why the interior and architecture must be linked; how to build collections; how to modernize traditional houses; and how to restore existing modernist houses.\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design
The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design offers a compelling collection of original essays that seek to examine the shifting role of interior architecture and interior design, and their importance and meaning within the contemporary world. Interior architecture and interior design are disciplines that span a complexity of ideas, ranging from human behaviour and anthropology to history and the technology of the future. Approaches to designing the interior are in a constant state of flux, reflecting and adapting to the changing systems of history, culture and politics. It is this process that allows interior design to be used as evidence for identifying patterns of consumption, gender, identity and social issues. The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design provides a pioneering overview of the ideas and arrangements within the two disciplines that make them such important platforms from which to study the way humans interact with the space around them. Covering a wide range of thought and research, the book enables the reader to investigate fully the changing face of interior architecture and interior design, while offering questions about their future trajectory.

Prompt
Interaktive Anwendungen nehmen in der Innenarchitektur durch fortschreitende Technik und Digitalisierung eine immer wichtigere Rolle ein. Ob bei Produkten, Möbeln oder Räumen: Die Vernetzung mit dem Nutzer ist der Trend, für den auch umwelt- und verhaltenspsychologische Aspekte relevant sind. Die Publikation dokumentiert die Vielfalt solcher Anwendungen, vom Lichtschalter bis hin zum komplett gestalteten Raum (einer Schule, eines Flugplatzes, eines Spas) und präsentiert dabei High- wie auch Lowtech-Projekte. Das Buch erläutert die verschiedenen Prinzipien der Interaktion zwischen Produkt und Nutzer und stellt dann in sechs Kapiteln jeweils anhand von sechs Projektbeispielen eine dieser interaktiven Funktionen vor: kommunizieren, stimulieren, anpassen, reagieren, umformen und herausfordern.
Fueled by an increasingly interconnected world, the desire for engaging experiences plays a more important role in interiors than ever before. There is a tendency in the design of products, furniture, and environments toward enhanced interaction that employs psychosocial principles. This publication presents both high and low-tech applications ranging from a light fixture to art installations and fully realized buildings. The book illustrates human-centered design strategies through a series of six chapters, each including examples that introduce one of following approaches: communicating, stimulating, synomorphic, transactional, transformative, and challenging.

Nature Inside
Biophilic design brings positive experiences of nature into the built environment whether in a domestic, work, leisure, healthcare, education or retail setting. Written by proponents, who are also leading expert practitioners, this book is the first design guide to biophilia for architects and interior designers. By raising awareness of biophilic design as a strategy to support psychological and physiological wellbeing, Nature Inside illustrates how it can be implemented, across a range of international case studies. It offers a plethora of practical insight and real-world solutions for all designers.
Starting with the principles and processes of biophilic design in practice, it showcases a variety of interior spaces residential, retail, workplace, hospitality, education, healthcare and manufacturing. The final chapter looks outside the walls, by providing a case study at the campus and city scale, concluding with an essential practical toolkit. Featured projects include:

Adaptive Reuse
Bauen im Bestand erfordert mehr als praktische Lösungen und Sicherheit in Stilfragen. Wenn bei der Umnutzung von Bauten die neuen Programme und Funktionen mit Veränderungen verbunden sind, stellt sich die fundamentale Frage, mit welchen Mitteln die Vergangenheit in den Entwurf für die Zukunft integriert werden soll. Auf dem Hintergrund langjähriger Lehrerfahrung gibt dieses Buch eine umfassende Einführung ins architektonische Entwerfen von Umbau-/Umnutzungsprojekten. Es zieht Bildwelten von Frankenstein bis Rem Koolhaas zur Verdeutlichung heran, behandelt Geschichte und Theorie, Bautypologie, Material- und Konstruktionsfragen sowie Aspekte von Denkmalschutz, Urbanistik und Innenarchitektur und stellt so das Bauen im Bestand als ein eigenständiges Gebiet des architektonischen Arbeitens dar.
Building in existing fabric requires more than practical solutions and stylistic skills. The adaptive reuse of buildings, where changes in the structure go along with new programs and functions, poses the fundamental question of how the past should be included in the design for the future. On the background of long years of teaching and publishing, and using vivid imagery from Frankenstein to Rem Koolhaas and beyond, the author provides a comprehensive introduction to architectural design for adaptive reuse projects. History and theory, building typology, questions of materials and construction, aspects of preservation, urban as well as interior design are dealt with in ways that allow to approach adaptive reuse as a design practice field of its own right.
