For more details please refer to the document. | Interior Design Principles and Practice M. PRATAP RAO PREFACE Interior design is a fast developing discipline. Its importance lies in the fact that the interior use of an enclosed space is changing frequently due to the. fast changing life styles. What we need today is an enclosed. space which can adopt to these fast changing needs. Thus tl1eneed of an mterior Designer will increase in the coming years. . h In India we are. slowly accepting this fact. In the process many schools of interior desig-nare started offering dip mas an degrees. Most of the students nf interior desigfl are not very clear about the syllabus and method of study. They are attracte d to the profession for the glamour and glossy photographs in magazines. There is no real textbook which can guide the students of intenor design and this book tries to meet that desperate need. I This book is divided into two sections as Theory and Drawing. The theory part contains History of interior design Basics of design composition Introduction to building materials Plumbing Natural ventilation Air-conditioning Natural Artificial lighting Acoustics Building protection Interior furnishing and information on Indian Institute of Interior Designers. The drawing part contains Lettering Scales Figures Projections Building material symbols Space standards External Internal parts Kitchen design Staircases Theory of colours Rendering techniques Three dimensional views and Interior design method. These are the most essential topics and drawing exercises a student of interior design should learn. I tried to incorporate the latest information available on each subject suiting to Indian conditions. I would have included many other topics but then it would. become an encyclopedia than a textbook for easy reading and understanding. However I welcome suggestions to improve the text in the coming editions from the students and fellow professi nals in interior design. M. PRATAP RAO CONTENTS THEORY CHAPTER 1. IDSTORY OF INTERIOR
