MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE:
"To be successful the professional interior designer must blend aesthetic awareness with a thorough understanding of how buildings and interiors are constructed.
Construction for Interior Designers is a highly readable, comprehensive and informative text proving all the technical information required. The second edition has been fully updated to reflect the 1991 amendments if the 1985 Building Regulations and includes a new chapter on environmental issues affecting construction. Important concepts are explained from first principles with three-dimensional diagrams and informative tables. No previous knowledge of the subject is assumed.
Coverage includes: structural principles; external structures; roofs and floors; defects and adaptation of existing buildings; internal structure; internal furnishing and fittings; external and internal materials and environmental issues.
This unique book has proved invaluable for students on degree or higher diploma courses in interior design and also useful for students of architecture and other related disciplines."
