"Taking into account the dramatic advances being made in materials and technologies, this innovative book on interior architecture offers a refreshing, synergistic approach to the field, while exposing readers to many exciting nonstructural materials available to today's designers. Providing a firm understanding of the properties and uses of all materials, Riggs' Materials and Components of Interior Architecture embraces a thorough spectrum of pertinent and essential information for the student and the professional. Progressing from the ground up, it furnishes its readers with a pragmatic and collaborative approach to modern design materials.
In this updated Seventh Edition of Materials and Components of Interior Architecture, the author has substantially magnified her work from previous editions to reinforce discussion on flooring materials, walls and ceilings, installation, and maintenance, while paying particular attention to growing environmental concerns in the manufacturing and disposal of materials. With reference to the most up-to-date products and complete coverage of as many as 27 flooring materials, this text is one of a kind in its field, delivering an exceptional approach that traverses beyond the decorative aspects of design to study the properties and uses of materials in the architectural field as well." -- back cover
