The Interior Urbanism Theory Reader

The Interior Urbanism Theory Reader expands our understanding of urbanism, interiority, and publicness from a global perspective across time and cultures. Exploring the socio-spatial parameters of interior urbanism with an interdisciplinary lens, fifty chapters investigate the topic in relation to architecture, planning, urban design, interior architecture, interior design, archaeology, engineering, sociology, psychology, and geography. Individual essays examine the morphological and typological origins of interior urbanism, as well as its diverse scales, occupancies, and atmospheres. As a survey of conditions that blur outdoor conditions and indoor space, this book will appeal to scholars, practitioners, students, and enthusiasts of urbanism, architecture, planning, interiors, and the social sciences.
