Traditional Details for Building Restoration, Renovation, and Rehabilitation: From the...
The publisher, John Wiley & Sons This handsome text contains the best and most representative traditional-style details from volumes 1 through 4 of Architectural Graphic Standards. The focus is on materials and details once again in high demand owing to the increase in building rehabilitation, historic preservation, and the rise of post-modern achitecture. Topics include roofing made of slate, clay tile, and copper and other metals; classical cabinetwork; and walls and paving of stone. Also included are old stock sizes of steel and lumber. Arranged in a format that parallels the drawing preparation sequence of a rehabilitation project, the text employs the same hand-drawn style of early editions of Architectural Graphic Standards and includes a useful bibliography of books on building rehabilitation and historic preservation. More than a collector's item, Traditional Details from Architectural Graphic Standards is a hands-on, practical guide. Reader Reviews Are you an Architect and don't know the parts of a traditional double hung window? Forgot how stone was detailed? Could not draw a lug window sill to save your life? Then this book is for you and your staff. Great drawings (real drawings, not CADD), all hand lettered and illustrated. I use this book to size masonry fireplaces. It is the ultimate resource on all types of wood burning fireplaces and masonry dimensioning! Although there are some things that are out of date (plumbing & electrical)this book tells a story about buildings in the emerging market of historic rehab and historic tax credit project.
