Description
Material Theories presents a fresh examination of nineteenth-century architecture and design through Gottfried Semper's influential concepts of dressing, material metamorphosis, and cultural development. This Routledge Research in Interior Design publication traces how Semper's theoretical framework emerged from his direct engagement with material artefacts during the late 1840s and early 1850s. The book investigates the discursive frameworks and historical phenomena that shaped European attitudes towards design and material culture in the mid-nineteenth century, offering scholars and designers a nuanced understanding of how Semper's ideas crystallised and their lasting influence on architecture and decorative arts. Essential reading for those interested in design history, material culture studies, and the intellectual foundations of modern interior design practice.
