Перевести текст наилучшим образом для передачи смысла: in the modern world, human life activities are played out in interior spaces. we may love being out-of-doors for the sense of open air and sky, for the escape it offers from life inside enclosure, but the very joy of being outside reflects the reality that so much of life is spent inside. buildings and their interiors are planned to serve the purposes and styles from the times of their origins, but they exert their influence on the activities and lives that they house as long as they continue to be used. the study of interior design, its development and change through history is a useful way both to explore the past and to make sense of the spaces in which modern life is lived. professional interior designers are expected to study design history, to know the practices of the past in the terms of “styles”, and to know the names and the nature of the contributions of those individuals who generated the most interesting and influential approaches to design.
