Packed with more than 250 full-color images and definitions, The Visual Dictionary of Interior Architecture and Design is the ideal resource for design and architecture students, professionals, and visual thinkers everywhere. Beautifully presented and illustrated, this guide to the many terms used in interior design and architecture defines hundreds of terms, both modern and traditional, with clear explanations and full-color pictures.
