Illustrated Building Pocket Book

Opis

Traditional building dictionaries rely on the reader to already know what the correct word is, and that`s not always the case. Roxanna McDonald`s technique is radically different, and makes full use of the power of visual communication to convey information. Each stage of the building and design process is illustrated, and each hand-drawn illustration is carefully labelled with the relevant technical terms, to ensure that each term is used correctly and consistently by everyone working on a project. The `Illustrated Building Pocket Book` is a radical approach to the age-old problem of the ambiguous use of technical language in building and architecture. By using drawings – which leave little room for ambiguity – clarity, safety and certainty can be achieved
