This in-depth history of the interior design of ocean liners surveys the transient history of interior design in relation to the development of passenger shipping; from commissioning by the line owners; methods and sources for the original creation of designs through to its construction; use and influence. It is a short-lived branch of architecture and design; lasting an average of fifteen years. As the design and taste mirrors and reinforces cultural assumptions about national identity; gender; class and race; not only did the interiors of ocean going liners reflect the changing hierarchies of society and shifting patterns in globalization; but the glamour and styling of the liners were reflected back into the design of interiors on land.Combining design history; architecture history; material and visual cultures; Designing Liners is a richly multidisciplinary work for those studying or researching this application of interior design.

Five StarsBy ALEX VILLEGASGreat illustrations descriptions1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. IllustratedBy MissBertThis is beautifully illustrated. I just wish there was more explanation of what the various pages mean. I understand why they chose to go with the degraded colors (what it faded to) but I would like to see what they think it looked like freshly painted; even if there was only a single page done that way. Some things were hard to understand because the colors were off.
