The editors Anne Massey (Kingston University) and John Turpin (Washington State University)
invite contributions to the journal's 2011 special issue 'Living in the Past: Histories, Heritage and Interior'.
This issue will examine the theme of the interior as a marker of history. Deeply embedded in historical processes, interiors are mutable spaces, shaped and re-shaped over time. The issue will seek to reveal the numerous ways in which interiors register and mark the passing of time and question the ways in which time and the effect of social, cultural, political and economic factors shape our understanding and assessment of interior.

The article above reflex an Architect or Designer disciplines and at the same time giving you an insight, how their work are produce.
Ron Arad
Arad was born in Israel. He moved to London to study under Peter Cook and Bernard Tschumi.
In the early 1980s he had very little money so he used scrap materials for his sculptures.
His first piece was a chair from a ready- made Rover 200 car that was scrapped.
He started off with nothing but ended up a very wealthy man at the end of the eighties by creating one-off pieces.
The reason why I was attracted to him was because he used things that people would have normally thrown away.
In the early nineties Ron Arad developed techniques with metal that fascinated him. He created a number of “volume” chairs, including the 1988 Big Easy made out of steel.
Italian upholstery specialist Moroso made an upholstered version of the Big Easy chair that was seen at the Milan Furniture Fair.
In 1999 Arad then created a polyester version of the Big Easy chair that was now called the New Orleans.
Not only is Arad successful he has now established himself and has a team of experts to enable him to carry out experiments using techniques and processes on materials to get the best results. His staff used the latest technology and machinery for rapid-prototyping.
A Belgian company called Materialise, make physical models from computer drawing, which is time - consuming and expensive but cost effective because Materialise make thousands and millions to sale across the globe.
Ron Arad use hyper- computerised -manufacturing to create object which are saleable. Two example of these techques one is name Not Made By Hand Not Made in China and the other is Bouncing Vases.
As well as doing one off pieces Arad continued to work with manufacturers to develop products. he collabated with many

His intentions his to change the approach to design, he had developed for a "rapid prototyping" s type of manufacturing. It involved using layers cuts out of steel material into complex shapes by ,a computer-controlled laser. A 2D layer were than assembled by hand into a 3-D solid form of various shapes.

Oliver Heath designs was set up in 2005 by designer writer and television presenter Oliver Heath to bring aspirational sustainability
and good design together in a variety of mediums from eco consultancy, architecture, eco interior design, product design and writing.
Fundamentally good eco design encourages our communities to pool resources and work together creating efficient local groups working towards a common aim of a better quality of life with a reduced impact on the environment.
This can happen in a number of ways, such as the conservation of natural resources that we have; whether it's be oil, gas, water or electricity.

Hi Oliver
Sorry for the confusing e-mail and I hope it won't affect any potential response.
I am currently in my first year of my foundation Degree at Southgate College.
In my Professional and Contextual studies I have researched you as a designer of interest and am compiling this into a work journal.
If it is possible I would like to complete my study within your professional practice as I find your work extremely interesting.
I would be grateful for any information you could offer regarding your approach to sustainable design.
Best regards
Ann-Marie Boyaram

Hi Ann –Marie
Apologies for the delay in responding, were having a busy time.
Im not entirely clear what you’d like to do, would you like to interview me or are you asking for an internship?
As you may well be aware my last book Urban eco Chic outlines my views on Eco interiors and would be a good place for you to start your research on my practice. But further questions would need to be more specific. Also as it is coming up to dissertation season im getting a lot of requests for interviews, questions and answers etc, and its really tricky for me to find the time to write answers to them all. So a phone call (which perhaps you could record may be better)
If you are interested in an internship please do send over your cv and we can consider it.
Regards
Oliver
