Interior Atmospheres

Julieanna Preston’s life as an academic, researcher and design practitioner spans architecture, landscape architecture, furniture design, construction, carpentry, interior design, urban design, and digital fabrication. Published internationally, she has most recently contributed towards advancing interior design with a book, INTIMUS: Interior Design Theory Reader (John Wiley & Sons, 2006), which she co-edited with Mark Taylor. She is internationally recognised as a champion of design as research through her creative and textual works on the architectural aesthetics of seismic strengthening (see Moments of Resistance, Archadia, 2000) and new urban furnishings derived from garment construction (see Architectural Design Review, RMIT, 2005, and AD: Surface Consciousness, Wiley, 2002). She works and lives in Wellington, New Zealand.
