DESCRIPTION
This edition of the industry standard on architectural detailing includes new sections covering analysis and modification of existing details and design of new details, both basic and advanced. Revised to address sustainability and to reflect the International Building Code®, Architectural Detailing continues to deliver reliable, insightful information on how to design details that will be water- and airtight, control the flows of heat and water vapor, adjust to all kinds of movement, age gracefully, be easy to construct, and still look good.
Conveniently organized by the three major concerns of the detailer—function, constructibility, and aesthetics—this edition features:
Richly illustrated examples of detail design, case studies, and practical exercises.
New and revised patterns showing form, constructibility, and aesthetics.
Everything you need, whether a student or professional, to design details that work.

EDITORIAL REVIEW
"Allen and Rand keep their attention on what adds up to make a great space while including sustainability and the International Building code to this edition. Their concise patterns control water and air leakage, control heat and sound flow, accommodate movement, provide structural support, allow for mechanical and electrical services, maintain health and safety, consider the life cycle of the building, and ensure construction through ease of assembly, efficient use of construction resources, and judicious use of aesthetically satisfying but forgiving details."
