Book Synopsis

This textbook/workbook prepares interior design students for understanding how to change their professional practice from a project-based activity to a knowledge-based activity.

Instructors will find the text a vital research aid for the student to develop analytical skills and help them transform these scientific models into unique and innovative processes for their design projects.
