* Why are buildings detailed the way they are?
* Why do architects and engineers seem to come to the same kind of solutions to their detailing problems?
* Are we satisfied with such a situation?
With environmental concerns so high on designers' agendas, the answer
to this third question has to be 'no'. Collectively architects,
engineers and specifiers need to revisit how they detail the built
environment, and address the most important and potentially difficult
area of the joint between materials and components.
In Principles of Architectural Detailing the authors question the way
in which buildings are detailed and in particular challenge familiar
joint solutions. They offer practical guidance and a number of tools to
help the student of architectural detailing in the decision-making
process. The emphasis throughout is on using knowledge of construction
in a creative and productive way to contribute towards a built
environment that enhances our well-being and which is also sustainable.
