Résumé:
The book is designed to give a stimulating idea of the current direction of international interior design. Nigel Coates has selected approximately 30 international designers whose work he thinks is especially interesting. The book presents a selection of work by these designers in such a way that the relations between different designers are brought out as well as broader themes in current interior design. While each selected project is featured over a series of pages, the same project may crop up at various other points through book. The purpose of this is to draw comparisons between each project by letting them cross over into one another’s territory. Hence the title: ‘Collidoscope’. As such, it works both as a sourcebook with reference to current tendencies in design and to the ideas that underpin them. It foregrounds the designers while raising challenging differences and overlaps between them.

Résumé:
Since the early eighties, many architects have used the term "narrative" to describe their work. To architects the enduring attraction of narrative is that it offers a way of engaging with the way a city feels and works. Rather than reducing architecture to mere style or an overt emphasis on technology, it foregrounds the experiential dimension of architecture. Narrative Architecture explores the potential for narrative as a way of interpreting buildings from ancient history through to the present, deals with architectural background, analysis and practice as well as its future development.
