This timely book provides a synthesis of research, theory, and practical application to explore
and examine the concept of privacy as a function of interior design responsibility. Presenting
information in a straightforward manner, the text examines privacy needs and solutions for
residential, healthcare, hospitality, and work environments. Age-specific privacy needs are also
covered. Students learn that privacy is not a luxury experience but a basic and restorative human
need that reduces stress, enhances self-identity and creativity, and enables people to better
manage both personal activities and social interactions. View
