5.0 out of 5 stars great book, May 12, 2007
This book is a great book. no color pictures but only scetches. This book is about scale, orientation, symmetry, proportion, shape of objects and interiors etc etc. You get the idea. I recommend you buy this book.

By A Customer
I am currently getting my degree in ID, and I think that this resource is invaluable. The drawings are great and they really help with perspectives and rendering.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book for teaching, July 13, 2000
By Becky (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
Interior Design Illustrated is a pictoral book with easily understood text. This book gives the reader a chance to learn the basics of Interior Design. I recommend this book for any Interior Design school to be used in their course.
