Product DescriptionModern Construction Facades is a guide for practitioners of architecture as well as structural and environmental engineers who wish to broaden their study beyond the information provided in the Walls chapter of the Modern Construction Handbook. The six chapters in this new handbook examine facades from the standpoint of the primary material used in their construction, from metal to glass, concrete, masonry, plastics, and wood. Each entry explains a specific form of construction and is accompanied by annotated details.
