| Whakarāpopototanga: | "Architectural detailing makes a building unique, and an architect outstanding. Detail in Contemporary Residential Architecture provides analysis of both the technical and the aesthetic importance of details in the development of contemporary residential architecture, providing a study of the emerging trends in detailing in recent years. Featuring many of the world's most highly acclaimed architects, the book presents over 50 recently completed houses, organized into six chapters defined by the key construction material: concrete, glass, masonry, steel, timber and alternative materials." "Each house is presented with colour photographs, plans of every floor, sections, elevations and axonometrics as well as numerous construction details. There is also a descriptive text and detailed captions. The houses are presented in clear and concise layouts over four pages and an accompanying CD-ROM contains all the drawings as printed in the book." "Detail in Contemporary Residential Architecture is an excellent reference work for architects, engineers, landscape architects, urban designers, interior designers and other professionals. It is also invaluable for architecture and design students, for whom it will be a resource not only for understanding the work of the best contemporary architects, but also as a tool for their own design work."--BOOK JACKET. |
