This book provides a basic introduction to building. It is divided into three main parts: an analysis of building in terms of what it is expected to do - its functional and performance requirements; an analysis of a building in terms of the processes required, the building team which implements them, and the methods used for communicating information; an analysis of a building in terms of one typical construction method. Although addressed primarily at students of building, architecture and interior design, this volume is for all those studying the many and varied processes which are involved during the creation of a building.
