First published: 1995
Description: As the public grows increasingly aware of sick building syndrome and other building-related illnesses, design professionals search for practical solutions to the problems. Environmental Interiorscapes is a comprehensive designer's manual for achieving healthy, beautiful, and highly functional interiors through the use of plants and state-of-the-art biotechnology.

Evoking the green spirit of design in the nineties, Environmental Interiorscapes discusses the many beneficial applications of plants in interiorscaping, beginning with their usefulness as air purifiers and ending with micro-irrigation systems to support them. Many varieties of plants for homes, offices, hotels, and commercial spaces are discussed, as are the methods for their maintenance.

Detailed instructions show the designer how to design, install, and manage technologically advanced interior automated irrigation systems in different building types. Useful appendixes list plant types and their preferred conditions, illustrate interiorscaping materials, and compile lists of sources and suppliers.

. Fully illustrated with photographs and drawings, Environmental Interiorscapes is an indispensable tool for interior designers, architects, landscape architects, and other professionals working in the building industry.
