Architectural detailing is what makes a design unique, and an architect
outstanding. Detail in Contemporary Timber Architecture provides
analysis of both the technical and the aesthetic importance of details
in modern timber architecture. Featuring the work of renowned architects
from around the world, this book presents 50 of the most recently
completed and influential timber designs for both residential and
commercial architecture. Each project is presented with color
photographs, site plans and sections and elevations, as well as numerous
construction details. There is also a descriptive text, detailed
captions and in-depth information for each project, including the
location, client, architectural project team, main consultants and
contractors. The projects are presented in clear and concise layouts
over four pages. All of the drawings are styled consistently and
presented at standard architectural scales to allow for easy comparison.
There is also a CD-ROM which contains all the drawings as printed in the
book, in both EPS and DWG (generic CAD) formats. In addition the book
features an index of architects that includes the name, address and all
contact details for each architect included. Detail in Contemporary
Timber Architecture is an excellent reference work for practising
architects as well as architecture and design students.
