This fascinating collection provides a chronologically arranged set of case studies looking at how interior design has constantly redefined itself as a manifestation of culture, from the eighteenth century to the present day.

Flow: Between Interior and Landscape combines cutting-edge scholarship with practitioner perspectives to address the concept of 'flow' and how it connects interiors and landscapes. Contributors investigate these relationships through case studies drawn from a range of national contexts and historical moments. The theoretical and historical discussion is enhanced by a series of visual essays integrated within the book's thematic sections, addressing flow in relation to concepts of nature, motility, continuity and frames.
