Architekten und andere Bauexperten müssen mit der für ein Bauvorhaben zur Verfügung stehenen Material- und Konstruktionsauswahl vertraut sein. Sie müssen auch verstehen, wie ihre Entscheidung für ein bestimmtes Material und Konstruktionsverfahren die Form und Dimensionen eines Gebäudes beeinflußt. Dies kann man mit Hilfe graphischer Abbildungen sehr wirkungsvoll darstellen, denn Bilder sind schneller zu erfassen als Texte. Diese komplett überarbeitete und aktualisierte 3. Auflage des Klassikers "Building Construction Illustrated" berücksichtigt auch die neuesten Entwicklungen in der Bautechnik, auf dem Baustoffmarkt und im Baugesetz. Ein absolutes Muß für jeden Architekten. (11/00)
