520 _a"Interior Interruptions examines the role of the palimpsest and its relationship to narrative, sustainability and design renovation in interiors. By examining storytelling through narrative theory, the book argues that these devices play a central role in the consideration of the designed interior. Narrative has a burgeoning relationship with the palimpsest and this approach embraces an aesthetic of incompleteness and imperfection as a site rich response. It recognises the ongoing 'biography' of a building as a form of architectural narrative through the continual process of writing, rewriting and overwriting. This process has sustainable, societal, archaeological and textual connotations that can be interpreted as a process of 'layering' whereby the architectural shell is viewed as a container that is 'overlain' by surface changes, populated by interior fixtures and fittings that all work together to create an ever-changing interior story. Exploring case studies from the UK, Netherlands, Palestine, Belgium, Singapore, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Brazil, Japan and China and beautifully illustrated in full colour, the book proposes that the act of interior refurbishment can be viewed as a perpetual form of revisionary storytelling re-imagined as a series of temporal interior 'interruptions'. It is essential reading for students and professionals interested in the built environment, including, but not limited to, interior design, interior decoration, interior architecture and architecture"--
