This introductory-level text introduces students to the planning of interior environments. Addressing both the contents of interior environments and the process of interior space planning, topics include the making of rooms, the design of effective spatial sequences, functional relationships among project parts, arrangement of furniture, planning effective circulation systems, making spaces accessible, and designing safe environments with efficient emergency egress systems. Numerous exercises throughout the book facilitate learning by encouraging students to apply ideas and concepts immediately after reading about them.
