Fundamentals of Interior Design has been written with the beginning interior design student in mind. It is comprehensive, yet concise. It allows the instructor to explore with his or her students the various aspects of interior design in a realistic manner.
This text includes hundreds of beautiful images and a wide range of examples of design ideas. Fundamentals of Interior Design addresses the need students will have in projects to marry design skills to architectural knowledge by repeatedly drawing the student’s attention to architectural information and ideas which must be considered in many projects. Students will study the role of the interior designer, the skills necessary to the practice of interior design, the principles which guide design, the special knowledge needed for specific circumstances, and how to interact with clients and other professionals. Specific chapters cover the history of design from antiquity to contemporary time, the elements of the design process, budgeting, scheduling, ordering materials and so forth. Individual chapters are devoted to each space of a building, including rooms for special use and extended living areas.
Each chapter concludes with exercises and discussion topics to help student and instructor gauge the student’s level of comprehension. Specific exercises allow the student to practice skills of sketching, mechanical drawing and use of CAD software.

Introducing Envisioneer 4

Recommended!
This book is designed to introduce the Envisioneer
user interface. Envisioneer contains a large variety
of powerful tools for creating architectural designs.
Some users can become overwhelmed by the variety and complexity
of the functions that are available in Envisioneer.
Remember, however, that you do not have to know everything
about the program before you can start creating useful designs;
and this quick introduction with an academic approach is an
excellent tool to help you do just that! Featuring Dr. Nasman's reknowed step-by-step format accompanied by detailed
full color illustrations.
