Synopsis
The Architects' Handbook provides a comprehensive range of visual and technical information covering the great majority of building types likely to be encountered by architects, designers, building surveyors and others involved in the construction industry.
Including over 300 case studies, the Handbook is organised by building type and concentrates very much on practical examples so complementing other architects' reference books. It features:
- a brief introduction to the key design considerations for each building type
- numerous plans, sections and elevations for the building examples
- references to key technical standards and design guidance
- a comprehensive bibliography for most building types
The book also includes sections on designing for accessibility, drawing practice, and metric and imperial conversion tables.

External Reviews
"All too often, architects attempt to redesign the wheel. Why struggle to sort out the complexity of a modern building when you can learn from the great masters. If the best architects in the world have visited the problems before, the chances are they have something to teach us. This book, with its detailed information about ground breaking buildings, should change the way we assimilate practical technical information" - Maxwell Hutchinson.
"It is a definitely useful book. All architects should own one. The aim of the book is to give an idea functional and design issues of specific building types including illustrations to give some useful examples." - Sezin.
