Hands-on experience designing interiors
This book provides design theory to guide students through their projects. In Interior Design Workbook: Problems and Projects for 1st and 2nd Year Students, projects are organized into eight categories. The skill levels range from simple sketching to more advanced exercises. Students are asked to face design challenges that are based on both public and private spaces. As they progress, students will continue to build their problem-solving skills. The book covers space planning, aesthetics, ergonomics, programming, furnishings, and more.
