The industry-standard guide to designing well-performing buildings
Architectural Detailing systematically describes the principles by
which good architectural details are designed. Principles are
explained in brief, and backed by extensive illustrations that show
you how to design details that will not leak water or air, will
control the flow of heat and water vapor, will adjust to all kinds
of movement, and will be easy to construct. This new third edition
has been updated to conform to International Building Code 2012,
and incorporates current knowledge about new material and
construction technology. Sustainable design issues are integrated
where relevant, and the discussion includes reviews of recent built
works that extract underlying principles that can be the basis for
new patterns or the alteration and addition to existing patterns.
Regulatory topics are primarily focused on the US, but touch on
other jurisdictions and geographic settings to give you a
well-rounded perspective of the art and science of architectural
detailing. In guiding a design from idea to reality, architects
design a set of details that show how a structure will be put
together. Good details are correct, complete, and provide accurate
information to a wide variety of users. By demonstrating the use of
detail patterns, this book teaches you how to design a building
that will perform as well as you intend. * Integrate appropriate
detailing into your designs * Learn the latest in materials,
assemblies, and construction methods * Incorporate sustainable
design principles and current building codes * Design buildings
that perform well, age gracefully, and look great Architects
understand that aesthetics are only a small fraction of good
design, and that stability and functionality require a deep
understanding of how things come together. Architectural Detailing
helps you bring it all together with a well fleshed-out design that
communicates accurately at all levels of the construction process.
