Because of their great knowledge of interior design and their sensitivity to the subject, matter, they have created the most comprehensive source book for the field ever. The editors spent three years bringing this volume to fruition, culling the best project drawings by outstanding designers to illustrate much of the subject matter and topping their own anthropometric expertise to address space planning and special function areas. They also ad- dress the importance of historic influence on present-day design with an impressive review of period furniture and interior details. All of these things have produced a reference work of such scope and inclu- siveness that the reader will be relieved of many hours in the pursuit of details and information, time saved that can be used for more innova- tion and creativity in developing solutions for client needs. ‘The authority and abundance of this book are a testimony to the mat- uration of this profession of ours and to the editors’ appreciation and understanding of its importance. Jack Lowery, FASID, IDEC My pleasure in being invited to write part of the Foreword swiftly changed to respect and, in turn, awe at the scope and depth of this book. ‘To say that itis an encyclopedic compilation and mass of information is obvious. But it is especially and uniquely user-friendly. It presents the written and illustrative data without a trace of pedantry; it meets @ real need in our interior designer professional resources. The editors’ effort, dedication, and patience, sustained during a period of over three years, are truly heroic. An astonishing number of hours of input have pro- duced a reference of incalculable value. | offer the same cautionary advice mentioned in the Preface: If the book is a wonderfully comprehensive reference and support for interior design standards, historical material, suggested plan and design crite- ria, and regulatory limitations, it is not—it will never be—a subsitute for the inspired, creative design act, for imaginative solutions are always driven by new cultural conditions, programs, and functional require- ments. So to all you designers: Continue to spin your dreams, but do not stray far from this great resource. Lawrence J. Israel, AIA, FISP
