INTERIOR DESIGN 2012

Dear Interior Design Educators, 

As we greet 2012, we at Fairchild Books are excited not only to 

announce our new titles and editions, but also to fill you in on some 

exciting initiatives we’ve recently launched. 

We don’t have to tell you that the academic publishing market is in 

transition, with today’s students expecting a choice between the screen 

and the printed page when accessing course materials. Fairchild Books 

is addressing these changes with new digital solutions designed to 

enhance your ability to instruct and inspire this generation. 

First, we have partnered with CourseSmart, the world’s largest 

provider of eTextbooks, to make our books and educational resources 

accessible to students anytime, anywhere, on the computer or webenabled 

mobile device of their choosing. 

Second, Fairchild educational resources for interior design students 

and professionals will be available through NOOK Study, an application 

designed to make textbooks easily accessible and more affordable. 

This year also brings a redesigned Fairchild Books web site. Our 

thoroughly updated site will provide both instructors and students a 

one-stop portal for information about our titles and supplementary 

educational materials, as well as an online store from which books can 

be purchased. 

While our expansion to digital media marks a new chapter for Fairchild 

Books, one thing will never change: our commitment to publishing 

interior design titles that are inspiring, informative, and rooted in timeproven 

fundamentals. We are privileged to partner with authors who 

care passionately about educating the next generation of interior 

designers. Whether the medium is paper or pixels, our mission remains 

to bridge the gap from education to industry, and to assist you in the 

essential task of shaping the interior design professionals of the future.

Color + Design: Transforming Interior Space presents color theory in terms of design 

principles such as balance, rhythm, emphasis, proportion, unity, and variety. Original 

illustrations showing residential, corporate, hospitality, retail, medical, educational, dining, 

and public transportation venues are used in scenarios that demonstrate the results of 

experimental color choices, based on color theory. Insights into how people perceive color 

will help the young interior designer focus on the user experience of a space. “Scenarios 

demonstrate, through original illustrations, the results of experimental color choices, based 

on color theory.” The text concludes with a chapter on color preferences of different international 

cultures. Students will gain insight into how important color is in the grand scheme of 

interior design, and how early in the process it should be considered.

Meanings of 

Designed Spaces 

Edited by Tiiu Vaikla-Poldma 

Meanings of Designed spaces 

Edited by TIIU VAIKLA-POLDMA, PhD—University of Montreal 

For a full list of contributors, please visit our Web site at www.fairchildbooks.com. 

As society rapidly changes, so too does our relationship with design and the spaces of 

the designed world. Meanings of Designed Spaces is a collection of articles by—and 

interviews with—renowned design academics and professionals exploring how people 

make meaning using design today, and how “designed space” both shapes and is 

shaped by technology, business, ethics, culture, sustainability, and society. Questions 

posed include: How does designing our world provide meaning in our lives? How is 

this meaning constructed? What is design research within this framework? How do 

interiors influence our social, cultural, and psychological ways of being? How is the 

designer’s role evolving in relationship to other stakeholders? What are possible ways 

we can understand and respond to the social, political, ethical, and cultural issues 

we face? The book’s subject matter moves from the theoretical to the practical and 

includes, at times, contradictory viewpoints, providing a springboard for conversation 

and debate. 

CONTENTS 

• Design Thinking, Knowledge and 

Critical Approaches 

• The Spaces of Interiors 

• Understanding Space Through Historic 

and Philosophical Perspectives 

• Philosophies and Spaces—Alternative 

Viewpoints 

• Design Philosophies, Aesthetic

Presentation Basics helps students hone both of the critical aspects of successful presentation— 

visual and verbal skills. Writing from the viewpoint that an effective presentation requires much 

more than adept graphic representation, Fullmer helps students strengthen their verbal skills to sell 

their ideas. The book also takes an essential look at business etiquette and body language, stressing 

the impact of these factors on a presentation.

Edited by CAREN S. MARTIN—University of Minnesota 

Edited by DENISE A. GUERIN—University of Minnesota 

Foreword by EVA MADDOx 

For a full list of contributors, please visit our Web site at www.fairchildbooks.com 

The State of the Interior Design Profession provides an informed view of the interior design 

profession as it stands, challenging students and inspiring them to consider their role and 

responsibility in developing the profession’s future. Martin and Guerin have identified 

12 issues integral to the future development of the interior design profession. Renowned 

and emerging interior design thinkers (authors), who represent complementary and 

conflicting viewpoints on the same issue, have written their opinions (essays) in response 

to each issue. Their experiences are diverse; they have contributed to practice, industry, 

publication, research, education, engagement, and service—and many to several of these. 

Their responses reflect the currency of their opinions, thoughts, and research on the issue.

Interior Design Issues and Theories 

Informing Design suggests a pedagogy in which design decision making is informed by more than 

speculative hunches, preferences, and intuition. In this collection of contributed chapters, leaders in both 

design practice and education share their expertise in such specialty areas as corporate, retail, and learning 

environments; healthcare; and hospitality. Introductory chapters teach students to distinguish among 

information gathering, programming, and research; apply the findings of others; and conduct their own 

investigations. Other chapters illustrate how informed design decisions were applied to various 

building types.

MARy LOU BAKKER—ML Design LLC 

Space Planning for Commercial Office Interiors provides a thorough and engaging look at 

the entire process of space planning, from meeting the client for the first time to delivering 

a beautifully rendered and creative space plan that addresses all of that client’s needs. 

The author takes readers through a step-by-step method that includes establishing client 

requirements, developing and translating ideas into design concepts, drafting layouts, and 

ultimately combining these layouts into well-organized, effective floor plans replete with offices, 

workstations, support rooms, and reception areas. Covering issues such as circulation, spatial 

and square footage calculations, building codes, adaptation to exterior architecture, ceiling 

systems, barrier-free designs, and LEED requirements along the way, the text presents all of 

the key principles, processes, and tasks associated with laying out interior space to optimize 

the health, safety, and wellness of its occupants. Thoughtfully organized, with useful exercises 

to help the reader master the entire process and lessons that can be applied to all types of 

designed interiors, this book is an indispensable learning tool for intermediate-level students in 

interior design, architecture, facilities management, and construction management as well as 

professional designers and office managers anticipating a corporate move.

History of Interiors 


History of furniture: a Global View 

MARK HINCHMAN—The University of Nebraska–Lincoln 

Globalization affects every aspect of our lives, from what we buy to what we eat to what 

we study—and the study of design history is no exception. Programs in art, architecture, 

and interior design all face the challenge of providing students with information from 

around the world. History of Furniture: A Global View covers the major historical movements 

in furniture design (from prehistoric periods through contemporary times) and 

includes parts of the world that traditional history books ignore or underserve, such as 

Africa and China. It presents the achievements of Western furniture designers, not in 

isolation from the rest of the globe, but in vibrant contact with it. For example, students 

will learn about the influence of Islamic design on Romanesque style and Thailand’s 

interpretation of Art Nouveau. In short, this comprehensive book with a global perspective 

focuses on the evolution of furniture from ancient history through postmodernism. 

CONTENTS

Using step-by-step instructions together with line-colored drawings, Perspective Drawing for 

Interior Space offers procedural instruction that covers freehand and technical one-, two-, and 

three-point perspectives. This text begins with the basic fundamentals of perspective by utilizing 

geometric shapes (cubes, cones, pyramids) and then advances beyond the core skills, to creating 

furniture, and finally, complete interior spaces. Students will learn to use grids to help them 

draw scale and proportion in perspective. The text also teaches students to use floor plans and 

elevations to create these drawings.

Perspective Drawing: 

a Designer’s Method 

ROBERT PHILIP GORDON—Columbia College Chicago 

Perspective Drawing: A Designer’s Method balances the need for detail with the need for spontaneity 

by establishing a connection between constructed perspective and freehand sketching. 

The techniques illustrated and discussed in this text enable students to design a space as they 

are drawing it. One of the author’s students described the effectiveness of this approach as 

making it “one million times easier to draw freehand after learning these perspective techniques.” 

After studying the methods for constructing linear perspective, students produce a 

number of freehand sketches. They test each one with an overlay grid to verify the location of 

horizon lines, vanishing points, and other key elements. With practice, they develop the ability to 

find these key points intuitively while sketching, so that they can draw freely and confidently.

Introduction to Rendering 


Presentation Methods 

Interior Design Illustrated: Marker 

and watercolor Techniques 

CHRISTINA M. SCALISE 

In an age of reliance on CAD programs, the skill to express a vision with a hand-rendered 

drawing gives an interior designer a distinct advantage in communicating with clients. 

Interior Design Illustrated helps students develop this powerful marketing tool. The stepby-step 

approach, with simple, uncomplicated lessons that progress from beginner to 

intermediate skill levels, teaches students how to visualize interior space, perspective, and 

details (such as pattern and texture) and to render their vision with watercolor and markers. 

Because the lessons are structured around small tasks, students will become proficient 

with one rendering skill before moving on to another. The text and numerous illustrations 

reinforce each other to make the lessons easily accessible to visual learners. The comprehensive 

coverage includes instruction in rendering architecture, finishes, fixtures, furniture, 

accessories, and plantscaping.

• Markers and Watercolors 

• Artistic Interpretation 

• Room Vignettes 

• Interior Architectural Elements 

• Walls 

• Floors 

• Furniture

PRESENTATION STRATEGIES 

& DIALOGUES 

CHRISTINA M. SCALISE 

The ability to effectively and persuasively communicate design solutions is an essential 

(but often underemphasized) skill for successful interior design, and Presentation 

Strategies & Dialogues helps students hone that ability. By teaching aspiring designers 

how to use imagination, voice, gesture, presence, visual content, and analytical and 

physical tools, the book empowers readers to bring their ideas to life in a clear and 

compelling manner. Working from a view of the design presentation as an exchange of 

ideas, the book explores in depth how to cultivate interactions with clients and respond 

to their feedback. This eminently practical how-to book is a valuable resource for any 

design student, as a reference for a design studio class, or as a text for professional 

practice courses.

Electronic workflow for Interior 

Designers and architects 

ANDREW BRODy—Endicott College 

Good design is smart design, and smart designers carefully control their workflow for 

maximum efficiency. Interior designers use multiple programs during the design process 

but tend to learn each program in isolation. Electronic Workflow for Interior Designers 

and Architects is written with integration in mind: students and working professionals 

will learn how to combine traditional phases of design with the capabilities of selected 

software for efficient, clear project development. This book is organized to follow the 

design process from start to finish using a typical interior renovation project. Chapters 

cover everything from predesign and research to working drawings and construction 

documents. Presentation renderings for schematic designs and techniques for creating 

physical and electronic portfolios are also discussed. Readers have the choice of working 

with a simple, small project or a complex, multilevel one, depending on skill level. 

CONTENTS

architectural Model building: 

Tools, Techniques, and Materials 

ROARK T. CONGDON—International Academy of Design and Technology—Seattle 

Foreword by ROSS KING 

Advances in computer-aided design have proven to be an invaluable tool for the architect 

and designer, yet Frank Gehry still begins his creative process by making “simple” models 

out of modest materials. Drawings and video, while an essential part of the design process, 

are still not substitutes for the tactile sensation one receives from a scale model. Drawing 

on 20 years experience in art and architecture, the author has developed this book on 

model making as it applies to students and professionals of the built environment. More 

than 300 photographs illustrate a multitude of techniques and the use of a wide variety of 

materials, providing a solid foundation for students and professionals to create and enjoy 

three-dimensional model making for interior design, architecture, landscape architecture, 

furniture design, theatrical design, and retail merchandising.

Digital Drawing for Designers: 

a Visual Guide to autocaD 2012 


AutoCAD is the industry standard for two-dimensional construction drawings, and this manual 

was created specifically to help designers master it. Neither overly simplistic nor excessively 

technical, Digital Drawing for Designers: A Visual Guide to AutoCAD 2012 teaches by relating to 

what architects and interior designers understand best: the visual world. Beginning with the building 

blocks of drawing (lines, circles, and arcs), the book progresses through architectural graphic 

standards, enabling students to create drawings that effectively communicate their design ideas. 

Advanced features such as annotative dimensions, annotative blocks, express tools, and linking 

drawings (XREFs) are also covered. Instructions are illustrated using language and concepts from 

manual drafting, facilitating a smooth transition to the digital environment for all designers. New 

learners will appreciate the step-by-step lessons and visual illustrations, while experienced design 

professionals can easily access material to refresh their knowledge. Clear, concise, and above all 

visual, this AutoCAD guide speaks directly to the needs of architects and interior designers.

Sustainable Design for 

Interior Environments 2nd Edition 


Sustainable Design for Interior Environments, 2nd Edition, builds on the first edition’s premise 

that the interior design profession has a social and moral responsibility to protect the health, 

safety, and welfare of people and the environment. The text equips professors, students, and 

practitioners to design sustainable interiors by addressing LEED certification, environmental 

concerns, ecosystems, ethics, values, worldviews, and the ways in which science and technology 

can be used to address environmental challenges. Through content, organization, and

Residential Design Studio 

ROBERT PHILIP GORDON—Columbia College Chicago 

Residential Design Studio details the process of how a professional interior designer and an 

architect plan and design a residence. Taking the approach of an interview with a potential 

homeowner, students will create a profile of the end user so that decisions can be made on 

program and budget. The book simulates for the residential design studio the same conditions 

that a professional designer faces including client requirements, program, budget, existing plan 

boundaries, and site location, providing a framework for students to do their own thinking and 

their own design work. Chapters cover everything from single-family detached homes, attached 

townhouses, and apartment buildings to preliminary design, remodeling, adaptive reuse, and 

urban design.

Home Design in an aging world 

JEFFREy P. ROSENFELD—Hofstra University 

WID CHAPMAN—Parsons The New School for Design 

Home Design in an Aging World examines changing norms and social strains in an aging world 

and looks at their implications for home design. Jeffrey P. Rosenfeld and Wid Chapman discuss 

senior home design in seven rapidly aging nations: Brazil, China, India, Israel, Japan, Sweden, 

and the United States. All seven of these nations are faced with the challenge of providing 

housing for populations that are living longer than ever before. The cross-nation discussion 

follows the growing trend toward a more global understanding of social issues, covering the 

differences among nations in terms of the effects of policy on the types of housing available, the 

design elements, and what people can afford. This book sensitizes the students, professionals, 

and the lay reader to the unique set of challenges of designing for the aging.

Environmental Psychology 

for Design 2nd Edition 

DAK KOPEC—Radford University 

How does a room affect an occupant’s behavior and well-being? How does a building influence 

its residents’ health? Environmental Psychology for Design, 2nd Edition, explores these questions 

with an in-depth look at psychosocial responses to the built environment. Awarded the 2006 ASID 

Joel Polsky Prize, the first edition served as an introduction to the discipline of environmental 

psychology and inspired readers to embrace its key concepts and incorporate them into their 

practice. This 2nd edition continues to analyze the interaction between environments and human 

behavior and well-being, while exploring how individual differences related to age, gender, and 

cultural background impact that interaction. The book provides many proactive initiatives designed 

to minimize stress and maximize user satisfaction, helping readers to create more comfortable 

spaces that will both satisfy the needs of the intended occupants and expand the scope of design.

ROSEMARy MENCONI 

This timely book provides a synthesis of research, theory, and practical application to explore 

and examine the concept of privacy as a function of interior design responsibility. Presenting 

information in a straightforward manner, the text examines privacy needs and solutions for 

residential, healthcare, hospitality, and work environments. Age-specific privacy needs are also 

covered. Students learn that privacy is not a luxury experience but a basic and restorative human 

need that reduces stress, enhances self-identity and creativity, and enables people to better 

manage both personal activities and social interactions.

Design and security

LINDA S. O’SHEA—Kean University 





Senior Thesis 

RULA AWWAD-RAFFERTy—University of Idaho 

Interior design students will find inspiration in Design and Security in the Built Environment as 

they learn about meeting security needs in offices, hospitals, schools, and other public and private 

facilities. Recognizing that design professionals must also take into account sustainability, 

accessibility, innovation, sense of place, and a host of other issues, the authors offer a seamless 

connection between security and these factors. To assist students in developing the mind-set 

they will need to consider security from the start of a project, the text focuses on the relationship 

of the psychological and physical aspects of security to interior design.

furniture Design and construction 

for the Interior Designer 

CHRISTOPHER NATALE 

Furniture Design and Construction for the Interior Designer satisfies the need in the interior 

design field for a source that teaches the aesthetic as well as the construction of residential 

furniture. Beginning chapters cover the design process as it relates to furniture design, basic 

materials, hardware, joinery, and finishes. Because interior designers organize and create 

livable spaces, later chapters are organized room by room, showing how pieces are constructed 

for a particular space. Understanding the basic construction of furniture greatly increases the 

success of the design. Interior designers should be confident in their design work as well as 

have an understanding of what is involved with the construction of their pieces, and that is what 

Natale and this book guide them toward.

History of Interiors and Furnishings 


The 2nd Edition of The Fairchild Dictionary of Interior Design presents design terminology 

from both historical and contemporary viewpoints—from antiquity to the 21st century. Furniture 

and its components, lighting principles and fixtures, materials, fabrics, construction 

devices, accessories, woods, styles, and periods all contribute to the language of design. 

Design is the continuous reuse and revitalization of forms to create meaning for each generation. 

There is no design that cannot find its way back in history. By integrating the historical 

evolution of design into the very definition of design terms, The Fairchild Dictionary 

of Interior Design places the fundamental, accumulated understanding of interior design in 

the broadest and most comprehensive of contexts. 

FEATURES 

• Terms used in interior design such as 

sustainable design, universal design, 

Americans with Disabilities Act, and 

barrier-free design 

• Over 650 detailed illustrations 

• Appendices include bibliographies of
