Architecture in Detail II

Description

Following on from Graham Bizley’s successful Architecture in Detail , Architecture in Detail II presents forty case studies of detailing on recent construction projects. Over 150 full colour drawings and photos provide a reference compendium for the professional architect seeking detailing inspiration. Originally featured in Building Design’s In Detail magazine, the included projects represent some of the most interesting and innovative techniques in recent architecture. Graham Bizley’s beautifully presented detail drawings allow the architect to easily see how ideas and techniques can be applied to other projects. The book is organized by building type for quick and easy reference. Review: Clear and informative - Beautifully laid out, this book was an excellent resource for my final year project for architectural technology degree Review: A bit disappointed with the content of the book - The selection of projects displayed in the book is not so interesting, the details also not very relevant in many cases, and the way the content is organized doesn't make it easy to understand. The feeling is the book has been done without much curation, asking random offices to provide any detail they had available and retouching the graphics at the end to try to give some kind of similar look to the whole, but not so successfully.
