Summary:
The "Modern Construction Handbook" examines a very wide range of construction options available to the contemporary designer in a concise, digestible format. It illustrates the wide spectrum of construction techniques in use, explaining how materials are chosen and the performance criteria that determine the way they are assembled.

Specific elements are clearly explained, using a spread-by-spread approach, accompanied by fully annotated drawn details. The "Modern Construction Handbook" will provide a unique resource for the practising architect and student, as well as other members of the design team.

Summary:
"Analysing architecture" offers a unique 'notebook' of architectural strategies to present an engaging introduction to elements and concepts in architectural design. Illustrated throughout with the author's original drawings, examples are drawn from across architectural history - from prehistoric primitive places, to temples, cottages and late twentieth century structures - to illustrate a number of themes and to show how drawing can be used as an analytical tool. Clearly identifying the key elements of architecture, conceptual themes apparent in buildings, and describing ideas for use in the active process of design, the book takes the form of, and encourages the use of, a 'notebook' of architectural strategies. Unwin explores the underlying patterns of architecture to reveal the organizational strategies which lie beneath the superficial appearances of buildings.
