This reference features in-depth explanations of how and why components are put together to help designers understand and coordinate commercial and residential design projects. Clear text and more than 330 drawings and tables lead the reader through all the materials and methods of interior construction and detailing. Ballast is owner of Architectural Research Consulting, a firm offering information and management services to architects, interior designers and the construction industry.
