Architect's Pocket Book - Softcover

This pocket book includes everyday information which the architect/designer normally has to find from a wide variety of sources and which is not always easily to hand. The book will be of use to the student as well as the experienced practitioner. There is no similar compendium currently available.

The book includes data about planning, structure, services, building elements, materials, addresses etc and is intended to be used both at the drawing board and on site.

The selection of the material by the author is based on many years' experience of architectural practice in both public and private offices.
