A reference on the technical knowledge required for architectural practice. Since the most recent edition was published in 1982, the scope and nature of architectural practice have expanded considerably to include new topics: energy conservation; environmental quality; accessibility; new project delivery mechanisms; and technological improvements in existing areas such as construction, materials, building enclosures and mechanical systems. This edition has been revised and the contents assessed and recreated to meet current and future needs of the profession. Information has been added on remodelling of existing buildings and on integration with allied engineering disciplines.

Since its release in 1946, this has been one of the most widely recognized and respected resources for architects, engineers, and designers, bringing together the knowledge, techniques, and skills of some of the most well-known experts in the field. The new Eighth Edition takes a fresh, visual approach to the information architects need to access quickly, helping them save time and money by assuring they get it right the first time. Readers will find timely, new chapters on building security, natural disaster mitigation, building diagnostics, facility management, and much more.
