Interior Design and Decoration"The fourth edition of Elements of Interior Design and Decoration represents a more extensive revision than any since the original publication in 1937. The acceleration of change in world events and in the arts has made it essential to adopt a more radical approach to the material in the text. Chapters 10 and 11, on contemporay design, were first included in the third edition, but they have been revised and brought up to date. Chapter 22, Socio-Psychological Aspects of Design, is entirely new." -- Book Preface. |
