Publisher's Synopsis
Interior design educators have many goals: to value the individual vision of all students and encourage their growth through the ideology, methods, and principles of lifelong learning, to provide practical instruction that gives students the ability to function and contribute as new designers in the marketplace, to ensure that these sets of skills are usable with an intellectual foundation, and to help generate an orderly internal process of development, guidelines to be followed as a framework for the imagination to work within, and a proper educational environment. Notes on the Interior: A Student Guide is filled with these concepts and what interior designer, professor, and author Peter Fleming wishes someone had told him as a new graduate ready to redesign anything he could get his hands on (whether it needed it or not). In this text, he offers his perspective of contemporary design practices through the discussion of the challenges and opportunities for students both in the academic setting and as they proceed to a working life in design. "This student guide offers great insight, opinions, and input with a different look on interior design. As a student, it made me rethink certain concepts and will easily affect the way I go about my designs in the future." --interior design student, Brandon Lackey"
