Audience Statement: Interior Design is aimed at the Interior Design Professional who is currently in the

industry.

Advertising: The advertisements are typical of the equipment and supplies a designer needs, as well as for

woman?s beauty needs and fine furniture. All in all the ads were very sparse which I liked a

great deal.

Summary:

Interior Design is a very colorful and graphical journal for the working professional. The articles range from the how-to section to full on award winning designers and their work. Many modern and art deco design topics were discussed. One article in particular ?Structural Tension? was very interesting. They talked about the conventional use of window treatments, wall coverings, and upholstery, fabric is now replacing steel, wood, concrete, and glass, and masonry as a structural material. Teflon-coated floss,

Kevlar, and Tenera (a.k.a. dental floss) are among the fibers implemented with tension cables to create

tent-like surfaces that are the basic forms of tensile structures. Tension is architecture.

The article titled ?Art and Architecture? is the focus of my summary. Traditionally, museum and gallery exhibitions devoted to subjects of architecture and design have taken on fairly predictable forms. They tend to showcase drawings, models, and occasionally furniture and smaller decorative objects

created by acknowledged masters or well-known practitioners. Henry Urbach, architect, thinks there

needs to be a way of presenting contemporary architecture and design to an expanded public. He has a rationale for creating new, more ambitious programs that are more convincing. The issue of dealing with space represents the essential curatorial program of Henry Urbach Architecture. It is broad enough to encompass installation art, digital work, prototypes, video, architectural photography, and the explorations of a wide range of artists who explore interior space and urbanism. This article was a little more high-level than I could understand, the level of language was aimed at, again, the working professional in the industry.

These were some of the typical topics for discussion as well as Tibetan Art, ASID Honers, and Hollywood and the Hudson. I believe these are different types of architectural style. I enjoyed the many colorful illustrations, pictures, and diagrams. I would recommend this journal to any civil engineer, architect, interior designer, or anyone who can appreciate good looking surroundings.

Summary:

The Journal of Accountancy speaks to a very specific audience. The articles range in focus from personal financial planning, auditing, business and industry, to new accounting techniques being used

today. The article ?The Quest to Outperform? is the focus of my summary. The deal is that investors

need to know whether active managers can consistently make money exploiting market inefficiencies

after factoring in the cost of their efforts. Mutual fund managers who have outperformed the markets
