Description
This internationally prizewinning volume now appears in its second, revised and expanded edition. Since the first edition was published in 2005, it has been adopted as a textbook at many universities. Neatly organised into comprehensive sections on materials, elements, structures, components and buildings, it is regarded as one of the best textbooks in the field of architecture and city planning.
The new material includes a section on translucent materials and an article on the use of glass. The chapter on building elements now includes a discussion of facades, and the chapter on structures has been expanded to cover principles of space creation. The examples section now includes extensive documentation of current projects whose systematic character is oriented around the production process.
Experience with the preceding edition has shown that the book has become an indispensable handbook for reference and reading not only for students and teachers but for architects too. It is also available in paperback.
It provides a valuable bridge between education and practice, between student and architect, and will be an inspiration to all - jury for the RIBA Bookshops International Book Award.
