Nothing About Interior Architecture is a 448-page anthology that refuses to settle the question of what interior architecture actually is — and treats that refusal as the discipline's most generative condition.
About This Book
Interior architecture has long occupied an uneasy position: present everywhere, theorised inconsistently, and dismissed just as often as it is celebrated. Nothing About takes that instability as its starting point. Edited by Javier Fernández Contreras, Youri Kravtchenko, and Julie Enckell Julliard, this collection assembles a wide range of intellectual tools — drawn from media, technology, the arts, and adjacent fields — to map the discipline's contradictions rather than resolve them. Polysemic and deliberately ambiguous, the book examines how interior space shapes contemporary design culture, negotiating the tension between the ornamental and the structural, the speculative and the built. It is essential reading for anyone who takes seriously the idea that the interior is a site of critical thought.

What You'll Discover
- How interior architecture resists stable definition — and why that resistance is constitutive of the discipline rather than a failure of it
- The ambivalence embedded in contemporary interior practice: superficial and profound, profane and sacred, ornamental and potentially destructive

- A closing proposition that the interior's value lies in its humble, almost invisible role — accompanying beings, both animate and inanimate, within their environments
