The Fundamentals of Interior Design by Simon Dodsworth
Throughout the text, guidelines are given to provide structure and the reader is encouraged to adapt and initiate methodologies to suit individual project needs. This approach is gives designers a belief in their own abilities, and confidence to tackle different projects with the unique challenges that each one brings. This book includes a variety of case studies taken from contemporary interior designers, including Jonathan Tuckey Design and Project Orange. It features a variety of diagrams and 'talking points' to get students thinking about key issues, and contains a section on ethics in interior design.

The book is clear and the images relate directly to the issues discussed on each spread.' - Anita Cooney, Pratt Institute, USA.
