Good reference book but boring,
By misterbeets "misterbeets" (Safe Harbor, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Interior Construction and Detailing for Designers and Architects (Hardcover)
Has lots of tables and charts, and is adequately explained. The author also writes study guides for standardized architecture tests, and that pretty much sums up the style: no opinions, just facts. Very thorough though. Personally I don't need a whole chapter on locks, but I suppose there are those who do. Presentation and graphics are a bit low-rent for an architecture book.

Thorough knowledge for Interior construction and details,
By Michael S. Cole (Kansas City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Interior Construction and Detailing for Designers and Architects (Hardcover)
This book should be on the shelves of every interior designer- it's so thorough that it's a little cumbersome at first. It should be used as a reference book, it gives chapter-by-chapter explanations on the specifics for the construction and application of windows, casegoods, partitions, etc. If there is ever any doubt in a designers mind as to how exactly something is constructed or works when it comes to the specifics of interior design, this book's for you.
