The book titled, “Materiality and Interior Construction,” and published by John Wiley and Sons has been added by Research and Markets to their product offering. The book, authored by Jim Postell and Nancy Gesimondo, provides a complete reference of materials required by architects and interior designers.
A very critical aspect of designing interior spaces and buildings is the right material. If executed properly, particular materials will support as well as enhance the overall theme of a project. The right material also imparts functionality and balances visual appeal in interior spaces.
The book, Materiality and Interior Construction, describes in detail how materials can be used in the fabrication and construction of floors, ceilings, partitions and millwork. Furthermore, it highlights the vital properties and characteristics of each material. The book also explores the pros and cons of using particular construction assemblies and materials.
Information on the green attributes of building materials and their ranking has also been provided so that designers and architects can make informed decisions. Readers can also access a listed website that features an exhaustive image bank of assemblies and materials.
