A new edition of Francis D.K. Ching’s illustrated guide to structural design

Structures are an essential element of the building process, yet one of the most difficult concepts for architects to grasp. While structural engineers do the detailed consulting work for a project, architects should have enough knowledge of structural theory and analysis to design a building.

Building Structures Illustrated takes a new approach to structural design, showing how structural systems of a building—such as an integrated assembly of elements with pattern, proportions, and also scale—are related to the fundamental aspects of architectural design.

Building Structures Illustrated: Patterns Systems and also Design 2nd Edition features a one-stop guide to structural design in practice, a thorough treatment of structural design as part of the entire building process, and also an overview of the historical development of architectural materails and structure. Illustrated throughout with Ching’s signature line drawings, this new Second Edition is an ideal guide to structures for designers, builders, and students.

• Updated to include new information on building code compliance, additional learning resources, and also a new glossary of terms

Ask anyone with a big book collection, and they’ll tell you moving them was the hardest part of the move. Take down a bookshelf and there’s often no less than four! Possibly up to eight, good Lord if it’s over ten, boxes of dense material. This is the single greatest argument for welcoming ebooks moreover! Abandoning print and having your PDF! On display instead doesn’t sound like such a bad idea while carrying book box number seven to the car.
