Inhalt:
Construction and detailing are vital skills for all students studying interior design and architecture. This book is an accessible, up-to-date introduction. This book covers a range of techniques, giving the student the means to find and put into practice the appropriate solution to fabrication issues while expressing their own personal aesthetic. The relation of existing building shells to the construction and detailing of new elements is also explored. Practical tips are given throughout the book; the roles of consultants, manufacturers, suppliers and fabricators are explained; and theories of modern, sustainable approaches to interior detailing are discussed. The chapters are packed with professional, annotated drawings and explanatory photographs of techniques, materials, and tools. Through these, the principles of sound construction are explained, together with the means to create successful variations on generic types of detailing. This book will prove an invaluable reference work throughout higher and further education courses
