Architectural Graphic Standards

Architectural Graphic Standards Since 1932, the ten editions of Architectural Graphic Standards have been referred to as the architect's bible. From site excavation to structures to roofs, Architectural Graphic Standards is the first place to look when an architect is confronted with a question about building design. With more than 8,000 architectural illustrations, including both reference drawings and constructible architectural details, Architectural Graphic Standards provides an easily accessible graphic reference for highly visual professionals. To celebrate seventy five years as the cornerstone of an industry, this commemorative Eleventh Edition is the most thorough and significant revision of Architectural Graphic Standards in a generation. Substantially revised to be even more relevant to today's design professionals, it features An entirely new, innovative look and design created by Bruce Mau Design that includes a modern page layout, bold second color, and new typeface Better organized a completely new organization structure applies the UniFormat(r) classification system which organizes content by function rather than product or material Expanded and updated coverage of inclusive, universal, and accessible design strategies Environmentally sensitive and sustainable design is presented and woven throughout including green materials, LEEDS standards, and recyclability A bold, contemporary new package as impressive closed as it is open, the Eleventh Edition features a beveled metal plate set in a sleek, black cloth cover Ribbon Markers included as a convenient and helpful way to mark favorite and well used spots in the book All New material Thoroughlyreviewed and edited by hundreds of building science experts and experienced architects, all new details and content including new structural technologies, building systems, and materials emphasis on sustainable construction, green materials, LEED standards, and recyclability expanded and updated coverage on inclusive, universal, and accessible design strategies computing technologies including Building Information Modeling (BIM) and CAD/CAM new information on regional and international variations accessibility requirements keyed throughout the text new standards for conducting, disseminating, and applying architectural research New and improved details With some 8,500 architectural illustrations, including both reference drawings and constructible architectural details, Architectural Graphic Standards continues to be the industry's leading, easily accessible graphic reference for highly visual professionals.

Modern Architecture Since 1900

Modern Architecture Since 1900 Modern Architecture Since 1900 is now well established as the standard work on twentieth century architecture. Truly worldwide in scope, it combines a general outline of the growth of a modern tradition with a masterly analysis and interpretation of individual buildings. The author adopts an integrated approach blending practical, aesthetic and social dimensions yet the stress is on the format and symbolic aspects of the art. Modern Architecture Since 1900 deals with the expression of ideas in architectural terms.
