Michelle Addington questions the accepted Modernist conception of the interior as a hermetically sealed envelope. She highlights the vicissitudes in attitudes that have existed over time to interior and exterior conditions by flagging up the 19th‐century pursuit of ventilation and the permeable outside wall, which was pursued in the quest for public sanitation and a misguided belief in the ‘toxic’ interior.
