Therefore, to understand the development process of interior architecture, it is crucial to examine the evaluations the evaluations made on interior spaces over time and to interpret their relationships with each other. In this sense, revealing in which publishing environments, in what forms, and with what geographical and historical distribution critical writings on interior spaces were produced is one of the ways to inform this process. This study aims to examine the visibility of interior space criticism in architecture and interior design journals and to investigate the landscape of research dissemination through a chronological analysis. Conducted with a qualitative approach within the framework of bibliometric methods, the study screened journals published between 1890 and 2020 according to specific criteria, divided them into two groups based on the nature of the critical articles they contained, and evaluated them in terms of their publication dates and geographical distribution. This allowed to see the historical and geographical distribution of interior criticism and, consequently, the place and distribution of interior architecture criticism in the historical process.}, number={53}, publisher={Hacettepe University}
