It helps architects prepare buildable preliminary designs as a realistic basis for the more detailed design development stage that will follow.

Completely revised to reference the new International Building Code, this fully updated Third Edition responds to the growing interest in sustainable design solutions with a new section on daylighting. Like its predecessors, this new edition offers quick access to reliable rules of thumb that offer vital help for: <UL> <LI>Selecting, configuring, and sizing the structural system <LI>Selecting heating and cooling systems <LI>Configuring and sizing mechanical and electrical systems <LI>Configuring and sizing egress systems <LI>Designing within building code height and area limitations

The Architect's Studio Companion, Third Edition is a recommended study reference for the Building Planning section of the Architect's Registration Exam and an invaluable sourcebook that can save architects time and effort throughout their careers.

Architect and author Edward Allen addresses the history, theory, and practice of each type of construction, including typical details of assembly. The lucid text is supported by more than 600 photographs and 400 line drawings, many of them arranged in sequences that illustrate construction operations step-by-step. More than 200 of the illustrations were prepared especially for this new edition. These include photographs of recent work by Horst Berger, Helmut Jahn, Cesar Pelli, Frank Gehry, Eric Owen Moss, Steven Holl, and Suzane Reatig.

This book is an essential reference for students of architecture, civil engineering, and construction technology. It finds everyday use in virtually every architecture firm in North America.]]> 76010 3.64 22 1 42168 3.48 50 11 1990 662764 0471333441 9780471333449 0 <![CDATA[Construction Exercises]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176882646m/662764.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176882646s/662764.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/662764.Construction_Exercises 0.0 0 42168 3.48 50 11 76010 3.64 22 1 1998 3759131 0471632201 9780471632207 0 <![CDATA[The Architect's Studio Companion]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3759131.The_Architect_s_Studio_Companion 0.0 0 42168 3.48 50 11 76010 3.64 22 1 1989
