Architectural Detailing: Function, Constructibility, Aesthetics is an industry-standard guide for designing well-performing buildings. The third edition, updated to conform to International Building Code 2012, systematically describes the principles of good architectural detailing through concise explanations and extensive illustrations. It covers design details that prevent water and air leaks, control heat and water vapor flow, accommodate movement, and ensure ease of construction. Sustainable design issues are integrated where relevant, with discussions of recent built works to extract underlying principles for new patterns or modifications. The book also delves into regulatory topics primarily focused on the US but provides a global perspective. By teaching the use of detail patterns, it helps architects create buildings that perform as intended from idea to reality.
