Introduction

摘要

"Interiors" brings into question the influence of multiple disciplines and the extent or, in some cases, the over-reaching of boundaries that shape the interior spatially and intellectually. A purposeful and rigorous orchestration of disciplinary relationships within an interior constitutes a form of curation, whereby elements such as architecture, furniture, art, and lighting are brought together to form a cohesive whole. Yet, ambiguity as to who, what, and how one defines interiors persists academically, professionally, and culturally. Can interiors stand on their own terms, or are they always a by-product of interdisciplinary efforts? More importantly, what alternative views, models, or frameworks may expand this otherwise binary choice between the disciplinary and the interdisciplinary?
