The Dictionary of Interior Design presents design terminology from both historical and contemporary viewpoints-from antiquity up to the 1960's. Building types, architectural details, interior details, design motifs, space planning, textiles, materials, color, lighting, furniture accessories, styles, periods, designers, architects, and business practices all contribute to the language of design. Design is the continued re-use and revitalization of forms that always have meaning. There is no design that cannot find its way back into history.
