Principles of Architectural Detailing

Principles of Architectural Detailing

 264 pages | PDF | 6.7 mb

* Why are buildings detailed the way they are?
 

* Why do architects and engineers seem to come to the same kind of solutions to their detailing problems?
 

* Are we satisfied with such a situation?
 

With environmental concerns so high on designers' agendas, the answer to this third question has to be 'no'. Collectively architects, engineers and specifiers need to revisit how they detail the built environment, and address the most important and potentially difficult area of the joint between materials and components.

In Principles of Architectural Detailing the authors question the way in which buildings are detailed and in particular challenge familiar joint solutions. 

They offer practical guidance and a number of tools to help the student of architectural detailing in the decision-making process.

 The emphasis throughout is on using knowledge of construction in a creative and productive way to contribute towards a built environment that enhances our well-being and which is also sustainable

Architecture in Detail

Architecture in Detail 

This book is a collection of detailed studies of recent construction projects that will help all architects learn and expand the possibilities of their own work. 

Projects have been selected for their use of innovative techniques, and these insights could help overcome problems, reduce a project’s cost, speed up work on site or help with an idea that is hard to achieve.

Each project within the book consists of striking detailed drawings, supplemented by color photographs and explanatory text. These details are an excellent way to see how others are using new materials and techniques that may be relevant to an architect’s own work.

Details of Victorian Architecture

Details of Victorian Architecture

Details of Victorian Architecture for the historical perspective... Incredibly beautiful piece of work, this book about Victorian architecture. 

Apparently about some French exhibition around 1880. It's one of my absolute fav books... 

There's no front- nor back cover and no author. It seem to be a

reprint from an old book. Could be a Dover Publications product.
