An excellent resource for architects Well-written, concise compendium of common and uncommon building materials used over the past 100 years. Architects will find this a valuable resource for the in-depth information on material history, fabrication, and use, especially for architects working with older buildings. I wish there were more books dealing so explicitly with materials the way this one does. | ||
