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.

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.

Download or read book A Pattern Language written by Christopher Alexander and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can use this book to design a house for yourself with your family; you can use it to work with your neighbors to improve your town and neighborhood; you can use it to design an office, or a workshop, or a public building. And you can use it to guide you in the actual process of construction. After a ten-year silence, Christopher Alexander and his colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure are now publishing a major statement in the form of three books which will, in their words, "lay the basis for an entirely new approach to architecture, building and planning, which will we hope replace existing ideas and practices entirely." The three books are The Timeless Way of Building, The Oregon Experiment, and this book, A Pattern Language. At the core of these books is the idea that people should design for themselves their own houses, streets, and communities. This idea may be radical (it implies a radical transformation of the architectural profession) but it comes simply from the observation that most of the wonderful places of the world were not made by architects but by the people. At the core of the books, too, is the point that in designing their environments people always rely on certain "languages," which, like the languages we speak, allow them to articulate and communicate an infinite variety of designs within a forma system which gives them coherence. This book provides a language of this kind. It will enable a person to make a design for almost any kind of building, or any part of the built environment. "Patterns," the units of this language, are answers to design problems (How high should a window sill be? How many stories should a building have? How much space in a neighborhood should be devoted to grass and trees?). More than 250 of the patterns in this pattern language are given: each consists of a problem statement, a discussion of the problem with an illustration, and a solution. As the authors say in their introduction, many of the patterns are archetypal, so deeply rooted in the nature of things that it seemly likely that they will be a part of human nature, and human action, as much in five hundred years as they are today.
