This book explains most everything about the stucture of a building. From the foundation to the roof. It also touches on basic mechanical and electricial systems. Plus, the book reviews site location and layout. The isometric drawings provide a high level of clarity. This book is a good refrence on home building, as well as explaining commercial construction fundamentals. I would highly recommend this book for anyone in the Contruction Industry. Construction students would also benifit from owning this book. I have my Degree in Building Construction. Man, do I wish I had this book when I was taking classes. It would have cleared up most of my questions. Buy it, you'll be glad you have it. |

All of Francis D. K. Ching's books are valuable to architecture students. For drafting on the board or CAD, I refer to this, and other Dr. Ching books often. Other Dr. Ching Books I highly recommend are, Architecture: Form, Space, and Order; An Illustrated Dictionary of Architecture. |

I am so, so impressed with this book. Extremely well drawn pictures ooze out of each page. Measurements are given for nearly every architectural feature, except keyholes (approx. 24H) Metric and US measurements are provided. This is a real time saver for 3D artists concentrating on architectural modelling and rendering. This is definitely one of my favourite books. Also covered are construction considerations - materials, sunlight and heat, earthquakes, wind, weight loading, etc. Makes for a fascinating read and visually stimulating one. |
