This course presents an introduction to the design of the interior from the late 15th century to the late 20th century. Issues of form, style, function, and meaning of spaces will be explored through specific design projects, artists, and patrons that both characterize and raise questions about historical and stylistic periods. Through class lectures, discussions, and readings that reflect a variety of critical approaches, this course also aims to situate the history of western and non-western interior design within a broader cultural, social, and political context.
