Description
Bloomsbury Form And Structure In Interior Architecture-2Nd Ed. 2016 Edition by Graeme Brooker, Sally Stone
Form and Structure in Interior Architecture examines the basic ideas that underpin the design of interior space: From the establishment of a relationship between the existing building and the new components that inhabit it, to the design and positioning of significant elements within the space itself.Through a series of groundbreaking case studies from around the world, this book proposes a method of analysis, understanding and exploitation of the existing building. Studies of contemporary work engage and stimulate, while clear diagrams and explanations allow students to understand and relate to the works in the context of architecture and interiors as a wider field.The second edition includes a new chapter on sustainable interior architecture. This brings the book up to date by covering current thinking about the importance of sustainability in architectural design. 1 The Design ProcessIntroductionDefinitions and DescriptionsReuse and Redesign: Case Study2 The Existing BuildingIntroductionReading the InteriorBasic Structural SystemsContext and Environment: Case StudyHistory: Case StudyForm and Structure: Case Study3 Sustainable Interior ArchitectureIntroductionSustainable Design: Case StudySustainable Use: Case Study4 Methods of Organising SpaceIntroductionClosed Room: Case StudyFree Plan: Case Study5 Responsive InteriorsIntroductionIntervened: Case StudyInserted: Case StudyInstalled: Case Study6 Autonomous InteriorsIntroductionDisguised: Case StudyAssembled: Case StudyCombined: Case Study7 Elements for Organising SpaceIntroductionObject: Case StudyPlane: Case StudySequence: Case StudyLight: Case StudyThreshold: Case StudyTexture: Case StudyGlossaryIndex
