Taking from architecture developing a pedagogy for interior design history
Publication details: Mumbai The Indian Institute of Architects 2024Edition: Vol.89(12), DecDescription: 32-42pSubject(s): Online resources: In: Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Interior design history has always been a faint shadow of architectural history. There needs to be a realm where histories can be focused on interior spaces. In this scenario, architecture takes a back seat, coming to aid only when required. Interior histories tend to show subtle shifts in cultures and traditions. Hence, it should evolve beyond design elements and delve into the meaning and human relationships forged by spaces. As the title suggests, the study develops a pedagogy to examine Interior history by understanding the relation of space and elements with individuals in relation to physical character, surrounding environment, social relations and culture. This study moves from the quantitative nature of interior histories and delves into qualitative factors that lend a narrative nature to spaces. The research states a framework in terms of “Interpretations” to conduct inquiries into the Interior Histories. A co-relational analysis is then obtained through it to infer cultural directives and identify underlying contextual systems.| Item type | Current library | Status | Barcode | |

Interior design history has always been a faint
shadow of architectural history. There needs to be
a realm where histories can be focused on interior
spaces. In this scenario, architecture takes a back
seat, coming to aid only when required. Interior
histories tend to show subtle shifts in cultures
and traditions. Hence, it should evolve beyond
design elements and delve into the meaning and
human relationships forged by spaces. As the title
suggests, the study develops a pedagogy to examine
Interior history by understanding the relation of
space and elements with individuals in relation to
physical character, surrounding environment, social
relations and culture. This study moves from the
quantitative nature of interior histories and delves
into qualitative factors that lend a narrative nature
to spaces. The research states a framework in terms
of “Interpretations” to conduct inquiries into the
Interior Histories. A co-relational analysis is then
obtained through it to infer cultural directives and
identify underlying contextual systems.
