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.
