Interior Design: Materials and Specifications

Interior Design Materials and Specifications is a book and CD-ROM combination that
covers the selection, care, and code compliance associated with materials for interiors.
It addresses the topic of material and trade resources from the viewpoint of the
working designer, describing each material s characteristics alongside specification
information and project management. Excerises related to the selection, specification,
and installation processes give students the opportunity to select materials
and practice project management tools related to an adaptive reuse scenario. This
simulated project on the CD-ROM requires students to apply their knowledge of procedures
and choosing materials in a real-world format, paying close attention to the
reasons behind each material choice.
