Avi Friedman

Town and Terraced Housing (eBook, ePUB)

For Affordability and Sustainability

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A systematic approach is used to cover the many facets of terraced and townhouses - a style of building which has been in use since the Roman era and is still useful today. The whole range of this style of housing is covered from interior design and construction methods, to more social factors like the issues of parking and street configurations.

Alongside over 150 diagrams and eighty photos, Avi Friedman creates a book which will be a valuable resource for all those involved in the planning, design and creation of terraced and town houses.
