New edition of the popular handbook
The Modern Construction Handbook has become a classic of advanced construction literature, not least due to its regular revisions and clear structure with chapters titled “Material”, “Wall”, “Roof”, “Structure”, “Environment, ” and “Applications”.
Tried and tested component details, examples focusing on sustainability and energy consumption, and an update on finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) introduced in the last edition set new standards for this handbook which serves as a foundational textbook in many architecture courses.
As a primer Handbook to building design, it is a starting point for the more advanced books Modern Construction Envelopes, Modern Construction Case Studies, Modern Environmental Design and Modern Structural Design by Andrew Watts.
- Relevant details and examples for studies
- The most important aspects of building design covered in six chapters
- Project-neutral drawings
