beautifully written text.......2000-08-16

How wonderful to find a textbook that is not only factually detailed but so clearly written that ---believe it or not---I could hardly put it down. I do wish there were new supplements---it's a treasure. I teach at Pratt Institute's Interior Design Dept., and have assigned it as optional reading and am considering it as assigned reading. The line drawings and illustrations are useful and the sample documents and forms exhaustive.

This is a fabulous book and a must for any professional interior designer to have on their book shelf. The information it contains provides the designer with the basic information needed to evaluate the different types of building and furniture finishes. It covers all of the available types of finishes including floors, walls, and ceilings. The only concern that I have regarding this book is that it is from 1989 and a lot of changes have happened to the industry since that time. Hopefully, the author is in the process of revising it.

Book Description

An indispensable working resource—Supplies you with everything you need to write effective commercial interiors specifications

Writing effective commercial specifications requires detailed knowledge of contractual obligations, industry regulations and standards, and material selection criteria. But keeping abreast of the vast and ever-changing body of facts, figures, rules, and regulations concerning tenant improvement work is more than can be expected of today's busy design professional. Specifying Interiors gives you instant access to all the critical information you need to write effective commercial interiors specifications. This valuable working resource:

Provides comprehensive coverage of all legal, regulatory, contractual, construction, and materials issues critical to successful tenant improvement work
Includes a specifications checklist for each product or material
Presents practice-specific selection criteria for all types of commercial spaces, including retail, health care, hospitality, and general office design
Features over 100 line drawings and 75 photographs accompanying material descriptions

With new commercial construction approaching an all-time low and the availability of prime real estate rapidly dwindling, tenant improvement is fast becoming one of the most sought-after design specialties. Taking advantage of a trend that is expected to last well into the next century, today's most successful design firms are making tenant improvement the primary focus of their practices. A synthesis of construction and furnishing, successful tenant improvement requires the guiding hand of a design professional who fully understands the consequences of design decisions from both performance and legal standpoints, and one whose interiors specifications reflect a thorough knowledge of contractual obligations, industry regulations and standards, and material selection criteria.

Clearly, the need for a comprehensive professional reference has never been greater. Specifying Interiors provides design professionals with instant access to all the information critical to writing effective interiors specifications for retail, hospitality, health care, and general office design. It tells you what you need to know about:

Leases and work letters
Methods for measuring commercial office space
Contracts for construction and for furniture and equipment
Laws affecting contracts for interiors projects
Specification formats
Federal regulations, codes, and standards
Construction and finish materials
Furniture and furnishings
And much more

Specifying Interiors also supplies busy design professionals with selection criteria and an annotated specifications checklist for each product or material covered, as well as more than 100 vivid line drawings and 75 photographs accompanying material descriptions.

Specifying Interiors is an indispensable tool of the trade for architects and interior designers. It is also a valuable resource for students in those fields and for anyone preparing for the NCIDQ exam.

Very Good Reference.......2003-03-03

This is an excellent reference for Interior Designers, with detailed technical information. I am currently studying interior design and even though I have read only a couple pages, it has helped me tremendously with my tests. I can imagine it will be a good reference for people who have finished and need to refer back to detailed technical information for interiors.

Excellent and practical guide. Invaluable reference work........1999-11-07

A friend purchased this book for me one Christmas. As a facilities consultant with several projects a year relocating commercial organisations, it's probably the most useful book I've had the pleasure to use - the forms are comprehensive and can be adapted for specific requirements. A worthwhile buy for anyone in this field.

Book Description

Decorative painters frequently find that florals painted in acrylic have a dull, poster-like look. Using the techniques found in Lush and Lively Flowers You Can Paint, artists can now create the most realistic-looking flowers, leaves, and foliage imaginable

Sharon Hamilton's two-stage approach allows readers to build form and dimension using undercoats and intense dark and light colors, followed by oil paint to enhance the richness of the design.

Beginners and experienced painters alike will benefit from Hamilton's easy instructional chapters that teach how to organize the palette, prepare a brush for a float, and paint with oils. 12 step-by-step projects include popular subjects, such as poppies, roses, lilies, pansies, and tulips!

Book Description

Revered as a father of modern photography, August Sander (1876- 1964) so refined the art of portraiture that his moving images of his fellow countrymen have been heralded both as an important sociological document and a photographic masterpiece. But those images make up only a portion of this deluxe seven-volume set, which will stand as the definitive collection of Sander's considerable achievement.

The books include some 150 never-before-seen images and essays by leading experts on the German photographer's work. Praising Sander's "vision . . . his knowledge, and his immense photographic talent," the writer Alfred Döblin said: "Those who know how to look will learn from his clear and powerful photographs, and will discover more about themselves and more about others."

Anyone who's been gripped by the fever (meaning millions of hunters, fishermen, and outdoor lovers) will tell you that cartoonist Bruce Cochran has "been there." Sportsmen will recognize themselves and their buddies in Buck Fever, Duck Fever, Bass Fever and Trout Fever.

Book Description

Life began to make sense in the summer of 1971. With his best friend George, the author travels to England where they buy BSA motorcycles for a trip lasting the summer and crossing a dozen and a half countries. Sleeping on the ground, eating at the markets, and traveling the back roads, they see a continent of magnificent beauty full of fascinating people. While traversing Czechoslovakia they see the misery caused by communist rule. First on the scene of a fatal traffic accident, they learn how fragile life is. From a farm family in Austria they find that kindness and friendship are more powerful than cultural and language differences. This is the true story of a summer spent by an eighteen-year-old boy who grew up quickly in those three months. The author shares what life was like during one summer of his youth, how he felt and what he learned as he crossed the threshold to adulthood.
