The second edition of The Fundamentals of Interior Design provides a
thorough introduction to the key elements of interior design and the
ideas that underpin them. The book describes the entirety of the
creative process, from researching initial ideas to realizing them in
three-dimensional form. Throughout the text, guidelines are given to
provide structure to the interior design process and the reader is
encouraged to adapt and initiate methodologies to suit individual
project needs. This approach is intended to give designers a belief in
their own abilities, and the confidence to tackle different projects
with the unique challenges that each one brings.
The book features a variety of diagrams and talking points to encourage
students and practitioners to think about key issues such as
understanding spatial relationships and the use of sustainable
materials.
This second edition includes new case studies focusing on well-known
international interior design studios, such as Conran and Partners, UK,
Slade Architecture, US, Gensler, US and award winning architects
Chae-Pereira in South Korea.
The introduction of interviews with contemporary interior designers
allows readers an insight in to the working world of interior design.
The new projects allow students to explore what they have learned in
each chapter through experimentation and these activities encourage
creativity and further learning.
