Every constructed edifice boasts an interior, be it in the rudimentary guise of a basic shelter, the monotonous grey walls of a hospital, or the intricately designed ornamentation of a singular residence. We allocate the majority of our time within the confines of buildings.

Close your eyes, and you will find yourself within your own interior. You will perpetually reside within.

Mastering the language, thought, and history of the interior is paramount to comprehending and designing spaces. This indispensable primer transcends the boundaries and genres that often delineate interiors, offering a comprehensive perspective of the concepts and vocabulary of interior design.

Written as an accessible "treasury of principal terms and ideas," Inside Information engages with the past, unveiling the future potential of the interior, and its design.

Introduces the reader to 26 key terms, ranging from ante- to zeitgeist.

Covers areas of study, from the exceedingly practical—structures, ornamentation, and sustainability—to the philosophical—gender, space, and light.

Features sources, spanning from Le Corbusier to Norman Foster; Jacques Derrida to Noam Chomsky; Virginia Woolf to George Orwell.

Highly illustrated with over 100 photographs and drawings.
