 2010 CABE Space Design Skills ScholarshipsCABE Space is offering up to eight people the opportunity to learn how well-designed spaces can benefit communities through the 2010 CABE Space design skills scholarships.The scholarships have been set up to boost design awareness in professions that create and manage urban public space. Six grants are available for people who do not have design training but who do want to learn more about the effect good design can have on streets and highways, parks and green spaces and public squares and neighbourhoods. Scholars will visit examples of well-designed public spaces in the UK and abroad, gain an understanding of their delivery and management, and learn how similar ideas can be developed through their work at home. In 2009 the scholars have visited the USA, Canada and Europe. Between them they studied community gardens; looked at how better designed public spaces can help deliver cultural and creative learning; and the impact of well-designed green space on social housing schemes. Applications for 2010 scholarships close on November 13, 2009. more www.cab... (69) design directory CABE > Architecture Organizations added by Levent OZLER |
 Furniture Design and Construction for the Interior DesignerFurniture Design and Construction for the Interior Designer satisfies the need in the interior design field for a source that teaches the aesthetic as well as the construction of residential furniture.Beginning chapters cover the design process as it relates to furniture design, basic materials, hardware, joinery, and finishes. Because interior designers organize and create livable spaces, later chapters are organized room by room, showing how pieces are constructed for a particular space. Understanding the basic construction of furniture greatly increases the success of the design. An interior designer should be confident in their design work as well as have an understanding of what is involved with the construction of their pieces and that s what Natale and this book attempt to guide them toward. more Furniture Design and Construction for the Interior Designer design directory Furniture Design and Construction for the Interior Designer > Furniture Design Books added by Levent OZLER |
