Proven component details, examples with a focus on sustainability and energy consumption and an update on Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) introduced in the latest edition also set new standards for this handbook, which forms the basis of many architecture degree programs.
As an introduction to building design, it is the starting point for the advanced books Modern Construction Envelopes, Modern Construction Case Studies, Modern Environmental Design and Modern Structural Design by Andrew Watts.
For architects and architecture students, relevant details and examples for the course with important construction aspects are presented in six main chapters in project-neutral drawings.
