This new tool, packaged free with every copy of the text, offers students an interactive tutorial in the elements of design, as well as study aides and quizzes to help them better master the text material.
Four Color: This third edition is now four-color throughout, with more photographs and a completely redrawn line art program.
Revised Historical Styles: This chapter has been updated and rewritten to include both the Asian influences on interior design and a comprehensive discussion of the Craftsman style.
Revised Special Considerations in Design: This chapter consolidates and expands the coverage of design for special populations and environmentally responsible design.
Revised Space Planning, Floor Plans and Building Systems: Coverage of space planning has expanded, with emphasis on many different options for individual rooms and functions in the home; and Floor Plans and Building Systems information has been reorganized and combined so that a single chapter outlines the process of construction or remodeling from planning to implementation.
The Process and Profession of Design: This introductory chapter combines the discussion of how design problems are identified and solved with the description of the training and skills of design professionals.
Nonresidential concerns are addressed in sections headed "Nonresidential Considerations," found in every chapter where this is relevant.
