AlbakiReads Editorial

A broad reference to building trades and design

Spanning architecture, carpentry, structural work and drafting, this handbook brings together practical and technical subjects involved in building. Its listed chapters range from masonry, reinforced concrete and construction supervision to contracts, specifications, estimating and building law. Drawing receives several dedicated sections, including architectural, mechanical, freehand and perspective drawing, alongside coverage of heating, ventilation, plumbing, wiring and lighting. The breadth makes the volume a cross-disciplinary reference, with both design topics and on-site building concerns represented. The reprint presents the original text and artwork in a modern edition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students of architecture and related subjects seeking a broad reference across building disciplines.
