BUILDING SYSTEMS FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS

Make design decisions informed by technical and structural knowledge with this essential guide

Professional interior design demands more than simply an understanding of aesthetic and artistic considerations; it also requires a detailed understanding of building systems and their interactions. Design decisions must account for mechanical and electrical equipment, building components, and structural elements, all of which can potentially shape a designer's work.

Building Systems for Interior Designers has long stood as the key to understanding and evaluating these elements, particularly key building systems like HVAC and plumbing, and their impacts on interior design. This Fourth Edition is fully updated to fit the needs of the CIDA certified interior design program and the NCIDQ exam.

The fourth edition of Building Systems for Interior Designers also includes:

• Updated information on sustainable and energy-efficient design
• Detailed coverage of topics including security concerns, fire safety, and designing secure spaces
• Classroom supplements including sample construction documents, chapter specific discussion questions, and more

Building Systems for Interior Designers is ideal for students in interior design courses and new professionals studying for NCIDQ exams.
