Through a series of case studies from the mid-eighteenth century to
the start of the twenty-first, this collection of essays considers
the historical insights that ethno/auto/biographical investigations
into the lives of individuals, groups and interiors can offer
design and architectural historians. Established scholars and
emerging researchers shed light on the methodological issues that
arise from the use of these sources to explore the history of the
interior as a site in which everyday life is experienced and
performed, and the ways in which contemporary architects and
interior designers draw on personal and collective histories in
their practice. Historians and theorists working within a range of
disciplinary contexts and historiographical traditions are turning
to biography as means of exploring and accounting for social,
cultural and material change - and this volume reflects that turn,
representing the fields of architectural and design history, social
history, literary history, creative writing and design practice.
Topics include masters and servants in eighteenth-century English
kitchens; the lost interiors of Oscar Wilde's 'House Beautiful';
Elsa Schiaparelli's Surrealist spaces; Jean Genet, outlaws, and the
interiors of marginality; and architect Lina Bo Bardi's 'Glass
House', Sao Paulo, Brazil.
