The growing variety of materials available for interior applications makes the selection and sampling process evermore complex and timeconsuming. This book in the Construction and Design Manuals series offers an overview of all materials suited for walls, ceilings, and floors, as well as stand-alone objects. Traditional and new materials are described in a knowledgeable and practical manner, providing information and inspiration for creating interiors. It is not only the material itself that determines the appearance of a surface, but also the design and arrangement of the joints: next to the material surface, the chosen laying pattern is a key aspect that influences the spatial effect. This sampler therefore includes a large array of patterns. It conveys fundamental knowledge of materials and their applications, and thus serves as a reference book, a sampling guide, and a go-to compendium for students.
