About the book
"The Modern Construction Handbook is a textbook for students and young practitioners of architecture, as well as students of structural and environmental engineering who wish to broaden their study by examining the architect's point of view of building practice and available technologies. It shows the principles of the main construction methods used today and illustrates this through drawings and typical generic details that can form a starting point for a particular design.". "Each of the book's six chapters examines a particular aspect of construction from Materials to Walls, Roofs, Structure, Environment and Fittings. Each double page explains specific elements which are accompanied by drawn and annotated generic details. Throughout the book, built examples by high profile designers are used to illustrate generally accepted principles. The construction techniques described can be applied internationally."--BOOK JACKET.
