Abstract
This paper discusses some of the work carried out in ITDN 371 Interior Design Theory and Criticism at Victoria University Wellington, New Zealand, a course that explores the interior and interior design. It discusses marginalised readings of architecture through popular culture, and focuses on domesticity, decoration and decorum. As such it draws on feminist theory to affect a critique of architecture through questioning the oppression/subjugation of the interior in modern architectural discourse, a discourse that trivialised and dismissed feminine activity in the home. Furthermore it responds to mass culture, consumption and conspicuous display by examining consumer goods as a legitimate area of architectural study.
