The classic visual guide to the basics of building construction, now with the most current information For nearly three decades, Building Construction Illustrated has offered an outstanding introduction to the principles of building construction. This new edition of the revered classic remains as relevant as ever-providing the latest information in Francis D.K. Ching's signature style. Its rich and comprehensive approach clearly presents all of the basic concepts underlying building construction and equips readers with useful guidelines for approaching virtually any new materials or techniques they may encounter. Laying out the material and structural choices available, it provides a full under-standing of how these choices affect a building's form and dimensions. Complete with more than 1,000 illustrations, the book moves through each of the key stages of the design process, from site selection to building components, mechanical systems, and finishes. * Illustrated throughout with clear and accurate drawings that present the state of the art in construction processes and materials * Updated and revised to include the latest knowledge on sustainability, incorporation of building systems, and use of new materials * Archetypal drawings offer clear inspiration for designers and drafters * Reflects the most current building codes and CSI Master Format numbering scheme With its comprehensive and lucid presentation of everything from foundations and floor systems to finish work, Building Construction Illustrated, Fourth Edition equips students and professionals in all areas of architecture and construction with useful guidelines for approaching virtually any new materials or techniques they may encounter in building planning, design, and construction. |

Written on June 27, 2007 Summary: An ARCHITECTURE STUDENT must own... I went through Architecture school and have been in practice for 4 years now. This is a fantastic book to have in school. This book provides you with great beginner information on how simple buildings ACTUALLY go together. It's not detailed to the "n-th" degree but it doesn't need to. It's great for any architecture student. This book contains a lot of what you are not going to be taught (unfortunately- not enough time) in 4-6 years of Architecture school. The illustrations are easy to read and it provides enough axons to portray its ideas well. Reading/looking through this book in school will make going into practice & construction documents, that much easier.  Written on June 8, 2007 Summary: How did I ever live without this? There is nothing you will want for knowing regarding building. It's such a standard it should have been printed with a hardcover, in leather, as the cheap paperback is already worn after one month. Written on May 28, 2007 Summary: Very good and easy to understand Both beginners and experienced professionals should feel the contents very easy to understand. It is filled with lots of illustrations and as the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words". Written on May 25, 2007 Summary: Excellent book, Great Graphics Excellent, Excellent book to learn building construction. Gotta love that Ching. He knows how to present and show details. I recommend for anyone in the Construction/Architecture busines. Written on May 19, 2007 Summary: A Great Introduction to Building Construction. This book is a great reource for anyone considering a career in construction management. It walks through the construction process using clear concise illustrations with helpful annotations. There is also a fair amount of information referencing the deign of building elements. It would make a good starting point for those interested in Architecture. |
