"Biography, Identity and the Modern Interior "
Through a series of case studies from the mid-eighteenth century to the start of the twenty-first, this collection of essays considers the historical insights that ethno/auto/biographical investigations into the lives of individuals, groups and interiors can offer design and architectural historians. Established scholars and emerging researchers shed light on the methodological issues that arise from the use of these sources to explore the history of the interior as a site in which everyday life is experienced and performed, and the ways in which contemporary architects and interior designers draw on personal and collective histories in their practice. Historians and theorists working within...
Phantom Architecture: Essays on Interwar Architecture in Belgrade
For 1920s urbanites, city streets were conceived as microcosms of all that was new and exciting. They were also contested spaces - provocative, divisive thoroughfares and showcases for the display of cultural, political and economic differences.

This series of four essays focuses on the phantom architecture produced by both male and female artists working before 1940. The work, beautifully emerges into the modernist era and brings with it issues of design, heritage and the present moment.
