Understanding Architectural Details – Commercial (2nd Edition)

The ebook that will help you significantly improve your knowledge of commercial construction detailing.

After the success of the first two Understanding Architectural Details ebooks, I knew it was time to dig deeper. The first book looked at residential construction details, while the second book studied basement design. For Understanding Architectural Details – Commercial I knew it was important to put together information and details relating to concrete and steel construction. This is an area that I have struggled to find information on in the past. There just doesn’t seem to be much information readily available on commercial and industrial construction. When you do find what you are looking for it is often difficult to digest. That is why I knew what a valuable resource this book would be for both architecture students and professionals.

This second edition has now been completely updated, with more details in both 2d and 3d, but we also look at building regulations, functional requirements of building, detailing principles – all put together to help you gain a more rounded understanding of construction detailing.
