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 marrydesign 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.
