This book meets the needs for a basic, yet comprehensive and up-to-date, introductory text to building technology for students in architecture and the other disciplines in building design. The wide coverage is organised under the chapter headings: structure, enclosure, climate services, utility services, lighting, acoustics, fire safety, the future? The treatment in each case is concentrated on the close relationship between good design practice and the basic underlying scientific and practical principles, but stopping short of the high level theory which is to be found in other more closely specialised texts.This well illustrated and highly readable book will be invaluable to the student and of interest to the practitioner too, both in architecture and in its related technical fields.

From the Dust Jacket: "UNDERSTANDING BUILDINGS provides students in architecture and other allied disciplines with a basic introduction to building technology in all its main aspects [T]his is the first general, multidisciplinary text to provide an overall explanation of the quite complicated aspects of building technology by looking first at the simple sources and underlying principles that are the key to understanding what is done in practice. In seven chapters, each with a short introduction, the book discusses structure, climate services, utility services, lighting, acoustics, fire safety, and future needs." "UNDERSTANDING BUILDINGS fills the gap between the overly simple and the overly specialized in an admirable way. It covers all aspects of the building construction process by a lucid exposition of principles, without oversimplification, unnecessary jargon, or pedantry . Technical information is introduced in a straightforward, logical manner" -- Eric Dluhosch, MIT. . First US Edition. Oversize Hardcover. Fine condition/Very Good dust jacket.
