The [inside/outside] lining becomes semidetached in Percier and Fontaine's curtained bedroom at Malmaison, which is derived from a Roman military tent.
Robert Venturi, Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture (1966), p. 76.

Robert Venturi, Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture (1966), p. 76.
