Architectural Drafting for Interior Designers

Architectural drafting for interior designers by Lydia Sloan Cline is a new book that is now available for loan from the Learning Centre.

History of Interior Design & Furniture

History of interior design & furniture: from ancient Egypt to nineteenth-century Europe (2nd edition) by Robbie G. Blakemore is a new book that is now available for loan in the Learning Centre.

"History of Interior Design and Furniture, Second Edition presents a comprehensive survey of the major historical periods of interior architecture and decorative styles.  Now full color throughout, this monumental overview is a breathtaking journey through five millennia of interior space, architectural details, and furniture.

The updated Second Edition masterfully distinguishes between such styles as Queen Anne, Rococo, and Elizabethan, while emphasizing the critical aesthetic elements of the societies that produced these recognizable styles.  Starting in ancient Egypt, this authoritative survey chronicles the ever-changing panorama of Greek, Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and nineteenth-century design.  From wall paintings in Pompeii to the luxurious parlours of Victorian England, special attention is paid to the relationships between interior architecture and the objects that define its spaces.

This impressive work offers more than just a history of style - it examines furniture and design from the broader social, political, economic, and technological perspectives exclusive to each historical continuum, this insightful book traces the thread of cultural influence across centuries, from the ancient Roman's retrospective look at their Greek forerunners to the revival styles that characterize the Victorian age.  Thoroughly researched and clearly presented, this book integrates enlightening facts against a backdrop of the evolution of space and the interior aesthetic over time.

More than 450 elegant photographs and over 175 new illustrations - many covering furniture types such as beds and storage - support the authoritative text inside.  Stunning three-dimensional plans convey the spatial relationships that are essential to understanding the history of interior architecture, and a historical timeline chronicles the important events that shaped interior design.  Explicit, cogent captions not only identify each figure but also provide insightful commentary that supplements the primary text.  This edition is also complete with a new comprehensive glossary of terms as well as a companion Web site.

History of Interior Design and Furniture, Second Edition is a unique and welcome addition to the canon of interior design literature.  Stimulating to the practitioner as well as the layman, this grand Second Edition is required reading for the serious student and educator of architecture and design alike." -- dust jacket

Managing the Design Process

Managing the design process, concept development: an essential manual for the working designer by Terry Lee Stone is a new book that is now available for loan from the Learning Centre.

"Managing the Design Process - Concept Development is an essential primer for all graphic designers.  As students, designers learn to develop and hone their creative skills, but courses on managing their careers and business are almost nonexistent.  Everything from creating a design brief to what questions to ask in a client meeting, are the cornerstones of a successful design career.  Learning how to communicate and effectively strategize with clients to envision the best possible outcome for each project is essential for every designer.

This book explains how to do these things and more.  It focuses on the concept development process, the early stages of the designer-client relationship, before the design hits the pavement, so to speak.  Research, goal setting, design strategy, creative risk taking, and effectively managing client expectations are all addressed.

Businesses and organizations of all types are starting to understand that good design can give a product a distinct competitive advantage over other products in the same category - inevitably benefiting their company's bottom line.  What is not clear to many is the intricate collaborative partnership between designer and client that is required to not only achieve a great design, but also to utilize it to its full capacity through a series of strategic steps.  Managing the Design Process - Concept Development is precisely about that collaboration." -- back cover

Introduction to Ergonomics

Introduction to ergonomics (3rd edition) by R. S. Bridger is a new book that is now available for loan in the Learning Centre.

"The past decade has seen the development and testing of an increasingly large set of ergonomics tools.  With new sections in every chapter, the third edition of Introduction to Ergonomics describes a representative selection of tools and demonstrates how to apply them in practice.  In fully researched, stand alone sections with worked examples, the book provides useful, practical skills for dealing with real-world ergonomic problems.  The author's approach is based on a professional model in which specialized skills are backed-up by a good general knowledge of ergonomics.  This approach is in accordance with International Ergonomics Association guidelines.

See what's new in the Third Edition
  • Ergonomics Workshop sections in each chapter with worked examples and advice for using problem solving tools
  • Guidance for the design of questionnaires, rating scales, and the conduct of surveys applicable across all areas of ergonomics
  • Task analysis examples together with a wide variety of ergonomics checklists and design guidelines
  • Increased coverage of the role of stress and psychological well-being on the health of workers and on systems safety
  • New material for course lectures, examinations, and projects - over 200 essays and exercises
  • Glossary of technical terms
  • New evidence for the cost-effectiveness of ergonomics in practice
  • Advice for further study
  • Updated Instructor's Manual
The book's built-in flexibility allows it to be used in a variety of ways.  Reading the main text supplies a general overview of ergonomics in action.  Delving deeper, the Ergonomics Workshop sections include tutorials and exercises that provide a basic toolkit for carrying out risk assessments and for solving real-world problems.  This multi-level organization allows those studying human factors, psychology, industrial engineering, and occupational ergonomics to get both general knowledge and specialized information.  The self-contained chapters are also accessible to non-ergonomics professionals who need to know more about the subject." -- back cover

Flooring

Flooring: the essential source book for planning, selecting, and restoring floors by Elizabeth Wilhide is a new book that is now available for loan from the Learning Centre.

"We make more demands on the floor than we do on any other structural element of the home.  It must not only be strong and durable, but also comfortable, safe, and good-looking.  And since your choice in flooring can often require a substantial investment, getting it right is essential.  Elizabeth Wilhide's Flooring is a rich fund of inspiration and sound advice for all the floors in your home, whether it is modern or period, urban or rural, sumptuous or simple.

Flooring celebrates the fabulous range of colors, textures, and finishes widely available today.  Elizabeth Wilhide shows how to select and use the most appropriate floor covering - be it striking and cool, or warm and welcoming - as the basis for truly stunning interiors to suit every budget and way of life.  Overriding design issues including scale and proportion, architectural character, flooring combinations, and detail, are tackled with ingenuity, practicality, and style.

Individual chapters cover the main flooring materials: hard (brick, stone, marble, tile, glass, concrete, metal); wood (both old and new); sheet and soft tile (rubber, linoleum, vinyl, leather); and soft (textiles of every description).  There is detailed, illustrated advice on the installation, care, maintenance, and restoration of each material, as well as instructions for personalizing a floor using pattern and color, from simple contrasts to sophisticated paint effects.

Few other features can coordinate or define interior spaces as well as a carefully chosen floor.  With its 400 up-to-date color photographs, 100 how-to illustrations, and directory of suppliers, Flooring is the most comprehensive and practical volume devoted to this large and important element of the home." -- back cover

The Soft Furnishings Source Book

The soft furnishings source book by Leslie Geddes-Brown is a new book that is now available for loan from the Learning Centre.

"Whether you long for the fresh and muted tones of Swedish minimalism, with sheer white linen hangings at the windows, or plan to upholster your sofa and armchairs in traditional toile de Jouy, The Soft Furnishings Source Book will help you to make your vision a reality.  In this fully revised and updated guide to decorative style, leading interiors writer Leslie Geddes-Brown shares her experience in exploring every aspect of using soft furnishings in the home.

The illuminating first chapter, on Fabric Styles, includes a host of images showing how the various types of fabric - from wools and velvets to suedes to and leathers - create a distinctive look and feel in a room.  The Components considers the different elements of soft furnishings, including curtains, loose covers, cushions and bed treatments, and offers advice about how to find your way through the multitude of choices.  Room By Room shows how these individual elements can be brought together into cohesive decorative schemes.

In Practicalities, Lucinda Ganderton covers basic sewing techniques and gives step-by-step instructions for 12 stylish yet simple projects.  An extensive directory of suppliers puts the finishing touch to this indispensable guide." -- dust jacket

Chema Madoz

Chema Madoz: Obras Maestras (Masterpieces) is a new book that is now available for loan from the Learning Centre.
"Chema Madoz Born in Spain in 1958, is one of contemporary photography's most personal and innovative artists. His work, influenced by surrealism and visual poetry, composes a complex magic universe where objects are never what they seem, or seem to be what they aren't. Madoz brilliantly plays with the perception of those who view his images and explores beyond reality.
In just one year (2000), his profound, intuitive work received Spain's National Photography Award, the PHotoEspaña Prize and the Higashikawa Prize. The artist, who has always lived in Madrid, has held numerous exhibitions since the mid-nineteen eighties. Outstanding among them are Objetos 1990-1999, the first retrospective that the Reina Sofía Museum dedicated to a live Spanish photographer; Chema Madoz 2000-2005, organised by the Ministry of Culture; and Poética, a travelling show that has received the praise of critics and public alike in countries such as Japan, China and Brazil.
Obras Maestras (Masterpieces) This book, which initiates La Fárica's Obras Maestras Collection, tells the story of Chema Madoz through the reproduction of more than 300 photographs within its 450 pages.
Page by page, three decades of creation are covered and the artist's inner world is revealed. His life and works are discovered thanks to essays by Duane Michals, Oliva María Rubio, Estrella de Diego and Christian Caujolle as well as an extensive and detailed illustrated timeline." -- dust jacket

Contemporary Details

Contemporary details: the definitive interior design sourcebook by Nonie Niesewand is a new book that is now available for loan from the Learning Centre.
"Spend a day tramping the streets of London, New York, or Amsterdam looking for contemporary handles or a wooden basin and you will most likely return home empty handed. Type the words "glass ceiling" into an Internet search engine and you will be given a choice of nearly 50,000 websites. In this book products have been sourced at international fairs and reviewed on the net to widen your horizons while narrowing your choices. contemporary details is the definitive guide to sourcing modern fixtures and fittings, providing instant design solutions for the 21st century.
Much more than an illustrated directory of the most beautiful and amazing objects available today, contemporary details features a collection of inspirational interiors designed by architects and designers that show how to get the latest looks, alongside pictures of over 650 products that author Nonie Niesewand has sleuthed from around the world. These are the very best interior design products, yet all are factory-produced, with a long shelf-life, and readily available. A directory of over 800 suppliers ensures that all the products can be easily sourced.
With an emphasis on including the very latest in "smart" technology and eco-friendly products, contemporary details is as inspiring as it is useful." -- dust jacket
