Detail in Contemporary Concrete Architecture Paperback – November 7, 2012

This book is Not about the Design and architecture but Explains how to get it done and what should be used and where.So basically there is the structure and a couple of pictures of it. then there is a floor plan ( to scale) and finally the materials of the structure With the diagram of the structure in detail.So u you don't just see the design BUT also know the materials he had built it with. You can actually relate it to another project and not wonder about the materials to be used then

Great choice if you want to learn more about drawing details, plus the CD with DWG files is great.

I subscribe to the idiom that you can never learn enough. My knowledge of the subject has been greatly expanded since the book arrived. I will be forever greatfull to the author, the publisher and the bookseller.

This is a greatly detailed study of contemporary concrete uses in architecture. From complicated to the most simplest hidden details are revealed in this very elaborate case study book.

I am a detail guy and this is a good relaxing book for me...

Very nice book.

I bought the book as a gift, opened the plastic, and the pages were printed upside down. Hopefully, I will be able to exchange it for another.

Nice Reference!!

Une expérience affreuse: La couverture et les pages abîmées, sans CDROM. À ce prix, c’est une fraude!

I should have bought the actual printed book instead of the kindle version.

Detail in Contemporary Architecture takes the reader on a journey of pure concrete bliss. Combined with a CD ROM and design details, it helps any designer, architect, client to improve their understanding of what the complexity involved in something as basic a material as concrete.Recommended in all architecture or design offices!

I saw these in a shop for £30 - £40 and checked on here. £21 is a bargain for these books.Lots of good details to help you get around some tricky detailing issues and all the details are on a CD so you can adapt and improve.Wouldn't live without the set!

I love concrete architecture, and this book gives you many fine examples, which include sketches, details and insitu photos. Was a great buy and arrived sooner than I expected (I think)! I love it!
