Summary:

Dieses Lesebuch ist eine wissenschaftliche Anthologie und ein Text-Mosaik zum modernen Interieur und seinem Ursprung sowie seiner historischen Entwicklung. Das Thema Interieur ist in den letzten Jahren wieder stärker in den Fokus der Wissenschaft gerückt und wird hier multiperspektivisch beleuchtet. Experten auf den Gebieten der Kunst- und Architekturgeschichte, Philosophie und Psychologie untersuchen in ihren Essays unter anderem Atelier und Praxis von Lucian und Sigmund Freud, Prousts Roman-Interieurs, Wittgensteins Haus und Kieslers Endless City. Das Buch erscheint als Nachlese eines Symposiums im Sigmund Freud Museum und stellt das Thema jenseits von Mode und gutem Geschmack dar, jedoch als Reaktion und Produkt individueller Entwicklungen.

This book is a scientific anthology and a text mosaic on the modern interior, its origins and its historic development. In recent years, science has increasingly focused on the subject of the interior; this book investigates the subject from different perspectives, the resumé of a symposium at the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna. Experts in the fields of architectural history, philosophy and psychology analyze the modern trend towards the individual design of interiors beyond fashion and good taste; the atelier and practice of Lucian and Sigmund Freud, the interiors in Proust's novels, Wittgenstein's house and Kiesler's Endless House.
