Description
Building Structures Illustrated Patterns, Systems, and Design by Francis D.K. Ching, Barry S. Onouye, and Douglas Zuberbuhler is a comprehensive guide to structural design for architects and designers. This new edition of the classic textbook takes a unique approach to structural design, showing how building structures are related to architectural design principles such as pattern, proportions, and scale. The book features in-depth coverage of structural design in practice, including formal and spatial composition, program fit, coordination with other building systems, and code compliance. Illustrated throughout with line drawings by Francis D.K. Ching, this updated edition includes new information on building code compliance, additional learning resources, and a glossary of terms to help readers make informed decisions on architectural design.
