Books: In Detail: Interior Surfaces and Materials
In Detail: Interior Surfaces and Materials, Aesthetics, Technology and Implementation
Editor: Christian Schittich Birkhäuser (November 2008)
Architecture is defined by its materials and surfaces. Not infrequently, it is their look and feel that determine whether a project succeeds or fails. For this reason, it is crucially important that planners choose the right materials and use them correctly, a task that is especially challenging today, when they are confronted with an almost dizzying variety of design possibilities and almost unlimited industrial production techniques.
In Detail: Materials for Interiors provides detailed and specific information on the use of appropriate materials in interior design. It features an overview of the range of available products for interior design, including large-format photographs of each material and interiors that use them. This is followed by detailed discussions of relevant aspects and production methods of the individual material groups. In the accompanying texts, expert planners who specialise in the various materials share their practical knowledge of how to use them.
