Overview

This seminal text demystifies the terminology around being an interior designer today, providing definitions of processes, techniques, features, and even some historical terms that a designer must know. The dictionary now includes coverage of sustainability, smart materials, new technologies, and processes. Coverage of non-Western cultures is expanded and provides insights into their influence in a global marketplace. This comprehensive reference covers multiple aspects of interior design and architecture, addressing structural and decorative features of interiors and their furbanishings, business practices, green design, universal design, commercial and residential interiors, new workplace design, and institutional and hospitality facilities. The fourth edition also includes vocabulary and image flashcards via STUDIO for on-the-go studying.
