This course is a chronological survey of the development of interior design and its primazy component - furniture - in the Western World from pre-history to the present, within the cultural context that shaped it. Special attention is given to the relationship between architecture, interior architecture, and furnishings; between the fine and decorative arts; and to the Elements and Principles used to create and describe design.
