Description
Foundations of Interior Design, 4th Edition, introduces the fascinating world of interior design practice. The authors provide an overview of the interior design profession, introducing readers to the elements and principles of design, key historical movements, the role of color and lighting in interiors, and the increasing emphasis on technology, sustainable design, social justice, and health and safety in contemporary interior design practice. This revised edition examines an array of human and environmental considerations in designing residential interiors, commercial offices and workspaces, and social and community-oriented projects reflecting the diverse areas in which interior design is practiced.
