After exploring the fundamentals of design – aesthetic objectives, design principles, evaluation, and planning – this book goes on to present a wealth of practical information about the basic building blocks of design: materials, furniture, textiles, lighting, color – and to examine such important technical matters as acoustics, ventilation, and energy.
Interior Design is itself a design tour de force. In their range and quality the more than 700 illustrations, many of them full-page or larger and 137 of them in color, are outstanding. Presenting the work of the finest designers and culled from examples across the nation (and around the world, including France, Germany, Italy, Japan), the photographs reveal an extraordinary diversity of design styles – traditional, country, Art Deco, High Tech, Post-Modern, Memphis, and more. Included here too are preliminary sketches by world-renowned designers, as well as numerous color charts, diagrams, and floor plans.
