Illustrated with hundreds of line drawings, this classic guide reveals virtually every secret of a building's function: how it stand up, keeps its occupants safe and comfortable, gets built, grows old, and dies - and why some buildings do this so much better than others. Edward Allen makes it easy for everyone - from armchair architects and sidewalk superintendents to students of architecture and construction - to understand the mysteries and complexities of even the largest building, from how it recycles waste and controls the movement of air, to how it is kept alive and growing.

I am really enjoying this book. The book breaks down all aspects of building an architect must consider. I think it is a wonderful book for any person who wants to eventually build and design their own home.

All you will ever need to know about the design and construction of buildings, informative and useful to the layman, inspirational perhaps to those who wish to broaden their interest in architecture and how we live.

A good companion (which also can be used as reference guide) to accompany you to go from basic to advance design guides. This one has helped me a lot from my 2nd year to the last of my Arch Degree.

Recommend!

درک کلی از تمام مبحث های مرتبط با تنظیم شرایط محیطی، ساخت، سازه، تاسیسات، ایمنی، نگهداری و ... ساختمان ارائه می دهد. که البته با توجه به حجم کتاب، هر فصل شامل اشاراتی سطحی اما کاملا مفید می باشد.
