Materiality and Interior Construction | 1 Edition

Details about Materiality and Interior Construction:

Materials Manual is a comprehensive reference manual of building and decorative materials and finishes, and how they are put together in construction assemblies. Introducing the properties, conditions, and attributes of a wide range of materials used by architects and interior designers, Materials Manual considers their use in a holistic and integrated manner by explaining how materials contribute to the construction and fabrication of floors, partitions, ceilings, and casework. The advantages and disadvantages of using specific materials and construction assemblies are also explained. Rather than a typical catalog of materials, Materials Manual is efficiently organized so that the reader is guided directly to the options for the location or assembly they are considering to select a material for and learn about the pros and cons of various applications.
