A striking new investigation of design strategies, ideas and critical thinking in interior architecture.
Using 40 international case studies, Adaptation Strategies for Interior Architecture and Design starts with the existing building and shows how designers and architects can bring together responses, ideas and resources in order to form new, clear and meaningful spatial designs.
With 20 years' experience in the field, Brooker introduces readers to the importance of context in both its site-specific and cultural meaning – from a disused aircraft hangar, to an old water defense. He examines eight different approaches to show how the adaptation of existing and, in particular, old buildings, can provide unique and unusual transformative solutions for the historic and contemporary built environment.

Form and Structure in Interior Architecture examines the basic ideas that underpin the design of interior space: From the establishment of a relationship between the existing building and the new components that inhabit it, to the design and positioning of significant elements within the space itself.
Through a series of groundbreaking case studies from around the world, this book proposes a method of analysis, understanding and exploitation of the existing building. Studies of contemporary work engage and stimulate, while clear diagrams and explanations allow students to understand and relate to the works in the context of architecture and interiors as a wider field.
The second edition includes a new chapter on sustainable interior architecture. This brings the book up to date by covering current thinking about the importance of sustainability in architectural design.

This book defines the history of modern interior design through the reuse of existing buildings. This approach allows the history of the interior to be viewed as separate from the history of architecture and instead enables the interior to develop its own historical narrative. Following a brief introduction, the book is organized in six chapters on the following themes: home, work, retail, display, leisure, and culture. Each chapter comprises a selection of case studies in chronological order. 52 key examples dating from 1900 to the present are explored in terms of context, concept, organization, and detail and are illustrated with photographs, plans, sections, concept drawings, and sketches. This unique history will be invaluable for students of interior architecture and design seeking a survey tailored especially for them, as well as appealing to interested general readers.

Key Interiors since 1900

Brinkworth is an award-winning London-based design studio, working globally in interior and architectural design. It was founded in 1990 by Adam Brinkworth, who, having trained as a furniture designer, found himself offered a series of modest fashion shop projects. Unfamiliar with the conventions of interior practice, he evolved a design and build methodology that allowed him control over the quality of the finished interior and the opportunity to experiment with ideas and techniques. Partner Kevin Brennan joined him in 1999 to assist with an increasing workload and more corporate clients and together, they expanded into hospitality and workplace design. By 2016, their obsessional attention to detail and operating efficiency had resulted in a prolific output of 2,000 projects, located in over 80 countries. While the studio has necessarily grown, it retains a commitment to experimentation, along with an ethos and enthusiasm more usually found in smaller, newer practices. Projects are mainly for smaller, progressive traders, and often include collaborations with others who work in complementary creative areas, such as music, film, and sculpture. They have, in particular, become known for their retail and hospitality work, always with a cool, creative edge to the designs, including their work for Dabbous restaurants; the Rapha Cycle Club; the Kent Reservoir House (Dinos Chapman’s home); shops for Karen Millen, Day Birger &amp; Mikkelsen, Supreme, and All Saints; the Swan Restaurant at the Globe; a skate park for Nike, and a pop-up Diesel store.

Re-readings 2 is a companion book to Re-readings, originally published in 2004. This second volume is testament to the growing interest and demand for clarification of the re-modelling, adaptation and transformation processes within the existing built environment. With increased interest in the sustainability and heritage agenda and emerging interest from non-European-centric areas of the world in this type of work, this book explores how the re-modelling of existing buildings is a sustainable and viable alternative to the construction of new buildings. Throughout this highly-illustrated book, drawings and photos of various projects from around the world highlight how the new fits into the existing. Case studies are analysed holistically, and include information on the practical issues and challenges of individual projects.

Re-readings: 2: Interior Architecture and the Principles of Remodelling Existing Buildings

RIBA Publishing

What is Interior Design? is a handbook for students, scholars, and practitioners who have an interest in interior design and architecture. This book examines the fundamental characteristics of interior space—the analysis and understanding of existing buildings, the nature and qualities of organizing an interior space, and an understanding of the material and surface qualities of found and applied textures. What is Interior Design? contextualizes current issues around education and practice, examines both historical and contemporary concerns in design, and looks at the work of key practitioners in the field. The study and practice of designing interior spaces is a constantly evolving subject. However, despite the popularity of interior design at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, there is still very little legislation or definition available.

Basics Interior Architecture 02: Context &amp; Environment proposes a method of design based on the interpretation, evaluation and utilization of physical factors, such as light and orientation, the contextual issues of the urban form and the subject of sustainability. It examines the ways each of these factors influences the form of the interior.
The text is supported by detailed studies of contemporary work, alongside activities and resources.

The Visual Dictionary of Interior Architecture and Design is a comprehensive guide to the numerous terms associated with, and used within, the fields of interior architecture and design.
Over 250 terms are explained and contextualised, with concise definitions accompanied by illustrations and examples taken from traditional and contemporary interior architecture.
The dictionary covers traditional terms still in current usage as well as modern terminology such as hyper-reality and sustainability. It also defines a wide variety of practical terms, such as elevation, installation, and function, and conceptual terms including constructivisim, minimalism, and formalism.

Basics Interior Architecture 04: Elements/Objects explores the manner in which an interior space can be manipulated through the precise placement of forms.
The book describes the principles underpinning the design of objects, and their placement within the interior space. It also discusses the influence that this has upon the character and perception of the space; providing focus or rhythm, controlling visual movement or expressing scale.
The book teaches readers how the manipulation of objects and elements can create interior spaces of distinctive and apposite qualities.
