Theorising Interior Architecture and Design. Identity, Practices, Education, and Beyond looks at interior architecture and design from a contemporary and international perspective. The book takes theory building to be one of the most important activities for a discipline. It explores the interior discipline's theoretical dimension and its pedagogical, professional and creative practices in different settings across the globe.Organised in four thematic sections and an epilogue, twenty chapters discuss vital aspects of contemporary interior architecture and design. How has the interior discipline, which for decades has been classified as 'emerging' or 'relatively young', over the past decades 'come of age' academically, in practice, and in theory? Why is the identity of interiors a complex issue, and how does this relate to theoretical concepts like surface, interior/exterior, or time? How can we think about the different roles of creative and professional practice - or about interior ed

Unmanned ships and autonomous ships are quickly becoming a reality, making shipping safer and more efficient. However, traditional tasks and functions are becoming blurred as new technology changes how the unique needs of different sectors are met. In addition to large vessels dedicated to the transport of goods and cargos across the oceans, major efforts are underway towards the automation of small coastal shipping that includes ferries, tugboats, supply and service vessels, and barges. Automated vehicles are also replacing conventional ships for inspecting and servicing pipelines, drilling platforms, wind farms and other offshore installations. Automated shipping is explored in terms of economics, technology, safety and the environment under the broad themes of ship design and engineering, command and control, navigation, communications, security, regulatory issues, and training. This includes initiatives for autonomous shipping as well as civilian implications of military ship autom
