Basics Interior Architecture 04 Elements Objects

This work in the Basics Interior Architecture series describes the principlesunderpinning the design of objects and their placement.

Basics Interior Architecture: Context and Environment examines the ways in which elements based both inside and outside of the host building can influence and affect the interior space. The book proposes a method of interpretation, evaluation and utilisation of physical factors, such as light and orientation, the contextual issues of the urban form and the subject of sustainability, and their influences on the design of the interior and the remodelling of existing buildings. Detailed studies of contemporary work are used to support theory, making this book an invaluable reference tool to all students of interior architecture and design.

The subject of interior architecture currently lacks a detailed and educationally focussed text. The new Basics Interior Architecture series will fill this gap, and expand students knowledge of interior design/interior architecture and give an insight into some of the principles and methods of professional interior architects. The first book in the Basics Interior Architecture series, Form & Structure will propose a method of analysis, understanding and exploitation of the existing building that can be used to realise the design of a new insertion.

This volume examines the basic ideas that underpin the design and remodelling of interior space, from the establishment of a relationship between the existing building and the new components that inhabit it, to the careful positioning and design of significant elements within the space.

A focused and informative introduction to many of the materials used in the design of contemporary interior spaces. It also explores the use of sustainable materials.

How do designers and architects think? In words? No! They think in pictures, in colors, in spatial relations. Packed with more than 250 full-color images and definitions, The Visual Dictionary of Interior Architecture and Design is the ideal resource for design and architecture students, professionals, and visual thinkers everywhere. Beautifully presented and illustrated, this guide to the many terms used in interior design and architecture defines hundreds of terms, both modern and traditional, with clear explanations and full-color pictures. Small enough for a backpack yet full of practical information, this is the definitive take-along book for job site or classroom.

Basics Interior Architecture 03: Drawing Out the Interior is a comprehensive introduction to the representation of interior space through drawing and modelling. The book introduces the reader to a range of techniques and methods and describes when and where to use them. Starting with what is meant by interior architecture and why designers draw in the first place, it goes on to explore what one might draw and when. The text is supported by detailed studies of contemporary work, alongside activities and resources. Starting with what is meant by interior architecture and why designers draw in the first place, it goes on to explore what one might draw and when. It considers the idea that the method we choose to draw with influences the way we think and therefore what we design. It includes sketches and drawings from Le Corbusier, Iannis Xenakis, Mies van der Rohe and Carlo Scarpa.
