Overview

Illustrated Codes for Designers: Residential is an interactive DVD that equips interior design students with the knowledge needed to work within the laws, codes, regulations, and standards that apply to residential environments. It explains how codes related to safety, accessibility, and more must be integrated into the design process at various stages, and explores how they affect different project types, including both one- and two-family dwellings at various phases of the design process. Based on the 2009 International Building Code, with many North American standards addressed as well, the DVD creates an active learning environment in which students will learn to use codes as an integral part of the design process.

I am overall impressed about the inclusiveness and the organization of this text. It is a well thought out approach to comprehensive 'active learning' and to convey the position and context of code, law regulation and standards in the design process of interior design and architecture. * Hepi Wachter, University of Oklahoma * Our building codes class is taught at the junior level at which time students are able to assimilate this information at a much higher level. It appears that this format will make it easy for students to 'jump' to sections and certain topic areas making the content less overwhelming... It is harder to flip 300 pages to get to the topic you were concerned with at a particular juncture in your design. * Anu Thakur, California State University-Northridge * Endorsed by the International Code Council (ICC (R)), a membership association dedicated to building safety, fire prevention and energy efficiency, develops the codes and standards used to construct residential and commercial buildings, including homes and schools. * The International Code Council (ICC (R)) *
