About this title

Synopsis

Shaping Interior Space, 2nd Edition, emphasizes the impact that designers make through their spatial compositions and design manipulations. Intended for intermediate and advanced students focusing on commercial design, the text covers strategies for creating interior environments that work as a total system to enhance the experience of users. It places the emphasis on design virtues other than function and beauty to more fully address the designer's role in providing appropriate amounts of order, enrichment, and expression.
