Description
The Modern Construction Handbook has become a building construction classic and is used in many courses as a textbook. Its systematic approach with chapters on materials, walls, roofs, construction and environment offers clear and efficient orientation. Digital fabrication techniques are included as well (complementing traditional production processes) and presented in an instructional book for the first time.
The third edition has been thoroughly updated by providing now:
More information - more annotation of drawings, more text on the page.
Updated 'future' chapter with more emerging construction techniques.
Updated essays on construction in the introduction Chapter 1.
Mote technical data in the 'Materials' Chapter.
The third edition has undergone an overall sharpening of its content which makes it an even more valuable companion for students and young practitioners!
