Abstract
The
paper
considers
culture
as
a
collection
of
meanings
which
are
produced
and
consumed
by
a
given
social
group.
Thus,
the
generation
of
meaning
would
be
analogous
to
the
generation
of
culture.
In
the
investigation
of
architectural
(built)
artefacts
it
is
unusual
to
identify
a
representative
sample;
instead
research
focus
is
on
the
in-‐depth
precedent
study.
The
purpose
of
this
paper
is
to
identify
selection
criteria
for
such
a
broad
corpus
of
interior
design
artefacts
(which
may
be
studied
from
a
semiotic
perspective)
as
grounded
theory
requires
a
large
and
broad
data
sample.
This
is
a
novel
application.
This
paper
will
consider
the
role
of
the
interior
design
researcher
as
domain
gate-‐keeper
in
the
determination
of
criteria
to
select
a
future
corpus
of
interior
design
artefacts
for
semiotic
analysis.
It
will
conduct
a
literature
review
of
interior
design
and
social
theory
to
identify
selection
criteria.
The
analytic
purpose
and
selection
criteria
serve
as
example
from
which
broader
principles
are
identified.
