520			_aFor one or two semester courses in Construction Methods and Materials and Design courses in Architecture. This book's unique two-part organization provides an unparalleled exploration of building construction. By first focusing on basic principles (Part One), it sets the groundwork for the presentation of materials and methods of construction (Part Two). Part One emphasizes basic principles common to the performance of most materials; Part Two deals primarily with specific materials and assemblies. This organization fosters a real understanding of general concepts and develops skills that will sustain over time. Written by an author team with decades of professional and academic experience in architecture, building construction, engineering, training and teaching this outstanding new product emphasizes a visual approach to learning. It includes more than 1,400 original illustrations and an extra large trim size (9 x 12) that provides an open and inviting layout that students are sure to appreciate.
