Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Research-Based Programming for Interior Designers prepares students to practise interior design as a knowledge-based activity. Students will learn how to use quality information from previously published sources as well as original research data to develop strategies for design solutions and client communication. Representing an evolution of author Lily Robinson’s previous book Research-Inspired Design: A Step-by-Step Guide for Interior Designers (co-authored with Alexandra Parman Pitts in 2009), this new iteration focuses on the written programme document as a project deliverable which connects research to the design process.

In keeping with the broad scope of the previous version, this text explores student-led data-gathering techniques such as interviews, surveys, and observation and clearly illustrates how interior designers consult and coordinate with design-related fields from pre-design/programming through design development and beyond.

Features

  • Art programme includes student process work examples and clear graphic explanations of complex concepts.
  • Activities help students brainstorm research topics, formulate research questions, conduct field studies, seek out experts and create design concepts.
  • Appendices provide a project programme template and a student example to help students visualise their own project programme.
