Description

Research-Based Programming for Interior Designers prepares students to practice interior design as a knowledge-based activity. Students will learn how to use quality information from previously published sources as well as original research data to develop strategies for design solutions and client communication. Representing an evolution of author Lily Robinson's previous book Research-Inspired Design: A Step-by-Step Guide for Interior Designers (co-authored with Alexandra Parman Pitts in 2009), this new iteration focuses on the written program document as a project deliverable which connects research to the design process. In keeping with the broad scope of the previous version, this text explores student-led data-gathering techniques such as interviews, surveys, and observation and clearly illustrates how interior designers consult and coordinate with design-related fields from pre-design/programming through design development and beyond.

Features

· Art program includes student process work examples and clear graphic explanations of complex concepts.
· Activities help students brainstorm research topics, formulate research questions, conduct field studies, seek out experts and create design concepts
· Appendices provide a project program template and a student example to help students visualize their own project program.

I like the emphasis on research as a creative process and integrated into the design process. This would fill a need in upper level undergraduate studio courses.

Dana E Vaux, University of Nebraska Kearney
I have required Research-Inspired Design by Lily B. Robinson and Alexandra T. Parman for the Senior Thesis course for the last 3 years but found I was only using specific chapters that fit the learning objectives for the undergraduate students. The proposed book is a better fit for the needs of our courses. I would be very likely to adopt this text.

Jessica Etheredge, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga
Clearly there is a need for a textbook that is geared toward undergrads who tend to require access to information in a different way from graduate students. I also like the idea of a simpler text as a building block for students who choose to go on to more advanced degrees. I agree with the analysis of the authors that the competing texts are not as comprehensive and support the need for a comprehensive text.
