Years of Defining Architectural Standards
Architectural Graphic Standards, 11th Edition
BRIGHTON, Mass., Jan. 18 /Newman Communications/ -- Wiley and The
American Institute of Architects are proud to introduce the most
thorough revision of Architectural Graphic Standards in a
generation. Since 1932, Architectural Graphic Standards (Wiley,
April 2007, $250) has been referred to as the "Architect's Bible."
From site excavation to structures to roofs, this resource is the
first place to look when an architect is confronted with a question
about building design.
This commemorative, 75th anniversary edition continues to be a
must-have for every architect practicing today and features over
8,000 illustrations, reference drawings, and constructible
architectural details. What makes this landmark new edition so
special?
. An entirely new, modern page layout and design that features a
bold second color and new typeface
. Improved organization-applies the CSI UniFormatT classification
system
. A focus on environmentally sensitive and sustainable design
including green materials, LEED standardT, and recyclability aspects
interwoven throughout the text
. A striking new package features a beveled metal plate set in a
sleek charcoal cloth cover
Thoroughly reviewed and edited by hundreds of building science
experts and experienced architects, up-to-the-minute and expanded
content includes:
. New structural technologies, building systems, and materials
. Expanded and integrated coverage on inclusive, universal, and
accessible design strategies
. New chapters cover contemporary issues such as Building
Information Modeling, CAD/CAM, and architectural research
. New information on regional and climate variations

architectural research
Perfect for any architect, student, or library, Architectural

illustration, text and graphic design. No other book on architecture
