A history of interior design (3rd rev. ed)

The first edition of this major survey on interior design by John Pile won the 2001 ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) Educational Foundation/Joel Polsky Prize.

Now this standard history has been updated to reflect greater coverage of non-Western design, as well as vernacular and residential interiors.

A deeper exploration of sustainable design and a CD-ROM with an interactive presentation of periods and styles makes this the most relevant text available.

Includes more than 500 photographs and drawings in color and black and white.
