| Abstract |
The goal of this paper is to explore the relationship between modern architecture and interior decoration through the study of decoration and
ornament. It is noteworthy that modern architecture and interior decoration occurred at about the same time. Our analysis shows that the two
are closely related to each other. That is to say, modern architecture tried to eliminate ornaments (and decorations), symbols and meanings
from the built environments and to embody efficiency and rationality instead. However, in the interior of the building designed and
completed by the architect, the user began to decorate his world through decoration or to refer such work to the new expert 'interior
decorator'. In a word, the latter took charge of the role deserted by modern architecture. |
