International Building Codes and Guidelines for Interior Design

This book fits a niche that doesnt seem to have been addressed so far. I can easily see the case studies as a wonderful weapon for students to use to attempt to emulate solutions for their projects. -- Robert Paul Meden, Marymount University, USA The case study approach is excellent as an organizing tool for sorting out a great deal of information that typically overwhelms students, and faculty sometimes as well. -- Julia Speck, George Washington University, USA It reads more clearly than the current Codes Guidebook for Interiors and providing sample projects per occupancy is a great way to learn codes. The strengths include the multiple project samples, multiple plan revisions, and a clear process of evaluation. -- Jessica Etheridge, University of Tennessee Chattanooga, USA This book is a source of examples and a hands-on workbook. -- Joseph Gentile, New York School of Interior Design, USA
