Interior Design Is Not Decoration And Other Ideas, says Professors Stephanie Travis and Catherine Anderson in the title of their latest book.

From coffee table books to TikTok, from the experiential to the conceptual, and from project types to materiality, we discuss just a portion of the expansive design field.
