INTERIOR DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE
Architectural Drafting for Interior Design
Lydia Sloan Cline
This comprehensive book provides information on hand drafting and computer rendering for architectural features in interior design.
Beginning interior designers need to learn to communicate their ideas graphically with a resource designed specifically for them. This book focuses on topics needed before AutoCAD is even introduced, like drawing a floor plan, using it to create an interior elevation, and the relationship between 2D and 3D drawings. Each aspect is transferred from the initial hand drawing to a digital rendering for completion. The only book written to the standards of the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ) and trade associations like the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), it gives readers a strong foundation in interior design. Lydia Sloan Cline is a professor at Johnson Community College in Overland Park, Kansas, United States.

Lisa M. Tucker
The best resource for viewing building construction and its systems through the lens of sustainability.
Lisa Tucker’s holistic approach, from the structural (site consideration and foundations) to the experiential (indoor air, acoustics, and safety), makes a clear case for interior design professionals to understand moral responsibilities to people and the environment, and follow sustainable practices. Now in its third edition, Sustainable Building Systems and Construction for Designers has been updated to reflect current CIDA accreditation standards and include industry trends for interior construction, like security and well-being. Additionally, it includes a set of new case studies. Line drawings, color photography, and sample student work also support student learning on this essential, timely topic. Lisa M. Tucker, is an associate professor of Interior Design at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), USA.

The Color of Modernism
Paints, Pigments, and the Transformation of Modern Architecture in 1920s Germany Deborah Ascher Barnstone
Dismantling the myth that early modernist architecture was white.
The Color of Modernism examines the different scientific and artistic color theories that were advanced by members of the German avant-garde, from Bruno Taut to Walter Gropius to Hans Scharoun, challenging one of the most enduring myths about modernist architecture – that it was white. Supported by introductions to the development of color theory in philosophy, science and the arts, the book explores the new ways in which color was used in architecture and urban design, addressing an important yet overlooked aspect of the period. Deborah Ascher Barnstone is Professor of Architecture, Course Director for undergraduate studies in Architecture, and Associate Head of School at University of Technology Sydney, Australia.
