Summary:
"Streamlined: A Metaphor for Progress" discusses the scientific, cultural, and historical development of this remarkable design style. Portraits of such designers as William B. Stout and Norman Bel Geddes, among others; an essay on streamlining at the world's fairs in Chicago 1933-34 and New York 1939-40; and source texts such as Paul Jardy's "Teardrops, Aerodynamics, and Motorcars" (1924) are just a few of the many topics covered. The book presents over 600 photographs, illustrating the degree to which streamlining has come to personify progress. The photographs also testify to the enormity of the aesthetic ripple effect that streamlining has caused -- readers will be amazed to see the variety of objects that have been "streamlined" over the years.

Summary:
Through two hundred newly commissioned photographs and profiles of twelve unique, personal, and creative interiors on both sides of the Hudson, ''Upstate'' features a variety of spaces- from tranquil minimalist retreats to exuberant small-town residences. Among them are a farmhouse of globetrotting food photographers, a lavender-hued Victorian brimming with eclectic curios, a striking cottage with modern furnishings and elegant Georgian bones, and the country-house-on-acid of an artist and art director, complete with giant mushroom side tables and permanently installed party streamers. Shared by these distinctive spaces is a common approach to decoration that centers on collections gradually accumulated, delights in the handmade, embraces the beauty in imperfection, and values comfort and character above all.

Summary:
Nestled in British Columbia between the Rocky Mountains and the sea, Canada’s Pacific Northwest is home to interior designers and architects with their eyes on the outdoors, a varied population, and the future. In this book, design writer Julia Dilworth talks to them about their motivations and how they work, and showcases their projects, in full-colour photographs and their own words. The 29 firms profiled bring varied backgrounds and approaches to projects from old-home renos to new builds and from rooms and apartments to breweries, working closely with their clients and other firms. With a characteristic West Coast concern for the environment, they’re keeping old builds out of landfills and bringing the beauty of the outside world inside, through windows, materials, and colour palettes. They’re inspired by local craftspeople and artists and by design from far flung places—the places from which the world has gathered on Canada’s West Coast.

Summary:
Interior design, as a relatively young discipline within the academic world of design, has historically been interpreted as an extension of other fine arts. Narratives exist, but they all too often treat interior design as a function of architecture or display rather than experience. An independent interior design theory is virtually nonexistent. Professor Lois Weinthal envisions a future where interior design is treated with parity to architecture and industrial design, a future with a new interior.
