About the Book

The Fundamentals of Interior Architecture offers an introduction to the key elements involved in the creation of aesthetically appealing and practically appropriate interior architecture. The book contains five sections, which together encapsulate the principle ideas, skills and knowledge that are employed in effective interior architecture and design. Areas of study include space and form, site and function, materials and texture, light and mood, and presentation and representation. Emphasis is placed on spatial solutions that support the needs of the client and which recognise the qualities of the building and its situation. The theory is contextualised using practioner biographies and work from leading designers.

Review :
This book strikes a balance between the profession of Interior Architecture and the theories behind it. The series of case studies are presented clearly in a manner easy for the student to grasp and for the instructor to build upon. This is a good relevant book, setting out aspects of the topic. It is an effective and challenging approach asking questions and exploring examples. Very engaging layout, strongly graphic and structured. Well organised information in bite-sized chunks making it highly appropriate for first year students of Architecture and Interior Design. Good use of contemporary examples of architecture, making it fresh and lively to read and peruse. Very relevant and current. Uses terminology suitable to the course and level we deliver. The questions in the summary and key stages are very useful. The graphics of the book are beautiful.
