Building Components and Objects in Interior Architecture

The fourth book in the Literatür® Interior Architecture Fundamentals Series, "Building Components and Objects," focuses on components, which are the indispensable qualities of an abstract thing, and objects, which are tangible things that can be seen and touched. The aim of "Building Components and Objects" is to create a comprehensive, clear, and illuminating resource on interior design practices. The book's chapters discuss building components and objects based on their design and context within the spaces they inhabit. Material-related functions, scale, and methods for examining the relationship between interior space and objects are explained in a way that will serve as a guide for students studying interior architecture. The glossary following the main text also addresses relevant terminology. The book discusses the design principles of objects, their placement in interior spaces, character, perception of space, rhythm, expressing scale, and how to create appropriate and distinct qualities for components and objects. "Building Components and Objects" is a fundamental resource for both students and professionals interested in interior design and interior architecture across many sectors.
