Environmental Interiorscapes: A Designer's Guide to Interior Plantscaping and Automated Irrigation Systems

A perspective from the intersection of the modern desire for green environments, the failure of mechanical systems to provide adequate air quality in large buildings, and high-technology control systems. Explains the public's desire and the government's requirements for air quality, and how the innate cleansing function of living plants can be augmented by such devices as tiny fans to filter air through the soil. A major topic is automated watering systems to keep indoor jungles from being labor intensive; explains the principles, biological and hydraulic parameters, equipment, installation, operation, and other aspects. Most of the systems described are complicated enough to be the concern of architects and designers, but some concepts could be adapted by amateurs for the office or house. Highly illustrated in black and white. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
