This book argues that interior architects have a responsibility to
practice their profession in collaborative ways that address the
needs of communities and of to be the agents of social justice and
cultural heritage. The book is divided into three sections, based
on three pivotal themes - community engagement, social justice and
cultural heritage. Each section has chapters that put forward the
principles of these themes, leading into a variety of fascinating
case studies that illustrate how socially sustainable design is
implemented in diverse communities across the world. The second
section includes four concise case studies of community housing
issues, including remote-area indigenous housing and housing for
the homeless. The third section offers two extensively researched
essays on design and cultural heritage - a case study of the
development of a redundant industrial site and a historical study
of gendered domestic interiors. The book appeals to a wider
audience than the design community alone and challenges mainstream
interior design/interior architecture practitioners nationally and
internationally to take a leading role in the field of socially
responsible design. The issues raised by the authors are relevant
for individuals, communities, government and non-government
organisations, professionals and students. "In the twenty-first
century we seem to have entered into a new world of knowledge
discovery, where many of the most exciting insights come not from
the authority of a traditional discipline, but from the dialogue
that happens at the hubs and intersections of thought - the arenas
where different disciplines and approaches, different schools and
habits of thinking, come together to collaborate and contend. This
collection is a good example of this, and I hope the book will be
widely read and its lessons learned and applied." Tim Costello,
Officer of the Order of Australia, Chief Executive, World Vision
Australia.
