The industry-standard guide to designing well-performing buildings
Architectural Detailing systematically
describes the principles by which good architectural details are
designed. Principles are explained in brief, and backed by extensive
illustrations that show you how to design details that will not leak
water or air, will control the flow of heat and water vapor, will adjust
to all kinds of movement, and will be easy to construct. This new third
edition has been updated to conform to International Building Code
2012, and incorporates current knowledge about new material and
construction technology. Sustainable design issues are integrated where
relevant, and the discussion includes reviews of recent built works that
extract underlying principles that can be the basis for new patterns or
the alteration and addition to existing patterns. Regulatory topics are
primarily focused on the US, but touch on other jurisdictions and
geographic settings to give you a well-rounded perspective of the art
and science of architectural detailing.
In guiding a design from
idea to reality, architects design a set of details that show how a
structure will be put together. Good details are correct, complete, and
provide accurate information to a wide variety of users. By
demonstrating the use of detail patterns, this book teaches you how to
design a building that will perform as well as you intend.

Architects
understand that aesthetics are only a small fraction of good design,
and that stability and functionality require a deep understanding of how
things come together. Architectural Detailing helps you bring it
all together with a well fleshed-out design that communicates
accurately at all levels of the construction process.
