Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook for Architects and Builders The degree to which the architect is essen tial to the building program approximates the extent to which he will be employed. If the job seems to be able to run without him he is classed as a luxury, to be avoided in the interest of building economy. It is on this plea that the architect's chief competitor, the general contractor, steps in and grabs the bacon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook for Architects and Builders: Published Under the Auspices of the Chicago Architects' Business Association; 1904, Seventh Year Attention is drawn to the Ordinance governing Sidewalks and Vault Covers, which is published for the first time as amended; it is an important matter and a place is gladly given to it. The Lien Law, in operation from July, 1903, is still new to many users of this book, and it is again inserted as valuable information. Important additions are made to the items connected with weights and measures, and data inci dental to Brewery work are added. Papers on Asbestos, Iron Construction, Varnishes, The Modern Store Front, Magnesite Construction, The Architect - His Rights, Remedies, Duties and Responsibilities, and other practical matters of every-day interest are given prominence and are worth reading and study. Extended tables of safe loads for White and Yellow Pine are inserted and will be found exceedingly useful and time-saving. They have been most carefully worked out, and may be accepted as authentic. The lists of City Officials, Members of the Municipal Art League, Civil Service Commission, Licensed Architects, Illinois Chapter of the Ameri can Institute, Chicago Architects' Business Association, Architectural Club and other organizations, are inserted and corrected to time of going to press. It is impossible in this introduction to enumerate all the features of information in this year's issue; suffice it to say that the enquiries for the Handbook from every State of the Union, have been such that no opportunity to meet the requirements of the many users of the work is allowed to slip by.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook for Architects and Builders The thirty-fifth volume of the Handbook for Architects and Builders is again presented to the architectural profession after a long period of suspension. We have produced the work in its usual high standard and no time, effort or expense has been spared to give the architect the information he requires in this daily practice. The Handbook architects and builders covers a peculiarly exclusive field and is a recognized reference for everyone in the architectural field. We have made but few changes from the general plan or arrangement that has proven satisfactory in former editions, although nearly all the study matter is new or has been brought up to date. The new Chicago Building Code is published in this volume as passed by the City Council of Chicago and a detailed comprehensive index wherein all sections and chapters can be easily located. The staff of contributors remains the same with the addition of John Jeffrey Davey, C. W. Berghorn, W. E. Fosket and P. W. Vandenberg, Wayne R. Fuller, Fred Morgan and Deane Perham. We realize that notwithstanding the care and caution which has been exercised in editing and preparing this volume that inaccuracies may have found their way into this work and for such faults we ask our readers to forward to us their friendly criticism and constructive suggestions in order to improve succeeding editions. The demand for the Handbook for Architects and Builders is constantly increasing and it has become almost indispensable to architects, engineers contractors, builders and those allied to the building industry. The classified list of advertisers which appears on page 791 furnishes the architect with a list of those engaged in the manufacture and sale of materials and the contracting business. We have exercised our best judgement in the selection of those represented in our advertising pages. To the advertisers we extend our appreciation for their patronage and bespeak for them an improved and successful future period.

Download or read book Builders Hardware written by Clarence Howard Blackali and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Builders' Hardware: A Manual for Architects, Builders and House Furnishers The subject of Builders' Hardware is one which has a direct bearing upon the work of the architect, and is, at the same time, of vital interest to the builder. This book is, however, written primarily for the architect. Most builders, we fancy, are already pretty well posted on the subject of the hardware which they are called upon to use in the construction and finish of a house; but our experience has led us to believe that architects, as a rule, seldom go any deeper into the subject than is necessary to decide whether knobs shall be of one material or another, or whether some particular pattern of sash-fast will be satisfactory to the owner. It is needless to say that a more extended acquaintance with the subject would do no one any harm, and might even be conducive to much good, if only in the way of providing more fittingly for the needs of the client. This work is not intended, however, to be over-critical in its nature, nor necessarily so exhaustive as to embrace all the inventions and arrangements comprised in the general term of builders' hardware, though an attempt has been made to discriminate between what is merely novel and what is really suitable, and so far as possible the best of everything is noticed under the various heads, and an effort made to represent as nearly as possible the conditions and limitations of the builders' hardware market, as well as to show what is valuable for the uses of the architect.

Providing authoritative guidance to designers and builders, this definitive guide features: * Clear explanations of how water interacts with building materials and equipment * An in-depth exploration of the paths of leaks * Numerous case studies on such well-known structures as Mount Vernon, Independence Hall, and Wingspan (Frank Lloyd Wright) * Numerous descriptive drawings and photographs
Download or read book Practice Of Architecture written by Asher Benjamin and published by Da Capo Press, Incorporated. This book was released on 1994 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asher Benjamin (1773-1845) published the first American builder's guide, and his architectural books played an invaluable role in disseminating the new language of the Greek Revival. When originally published, they were remarkably popular, and were among the most influential of all Greek Revival handbooks. Throughout the American South, Midwest, and New England, one still comes across houses built in the 1830s, 1840s, and 1850s patterned directly after Benjamin's designs.The two books incorporated here, Practice of Architecture (1833) and The Builders Guide (1839), are his most accomplished Grecian pattern books. With the growing number of contemporary architects who are designing buildings based on the forms on nineteenth century Grecian architecture, Benjamin's books should prove an invaluable resource for all lovers of the Greek Revival - builders, owners, preservationists, historians, and architects alike. Thomas Gordon Smith is chairman of the school of Architecture at the University of Notre Dame. His books include Classical Architecture: Rule and Invention and a newly illustrated edition of Vitruvius's Ten Books on Architecture/
