This book is the ideal textbook because it offers a methodical process to understanding the basics of interior space, the value of clearly identified design problems, intentions and strategies for solutions, and an emphasis on ideation and the pre-design process. -- Ann M. Theriot * Review program * I can't think of another book that covers design in this way. Most books address methods of space planning or methods of communicating work, such as textbooks on drafting by hand or computer, or drawing and rendering. Other textbooks address issues such as human factors. But thinking about how to design a space that is shaped to be a cohesive whole is a unique to this textbook. -- Kay Boehr * Review program *
