The Architects’ Handbook by Quentin Pickard (Blackwell Science 2002) is a comprehensive visual manual to the design specs of various building types.
Including over 300 case studies, the Handbook is organised by building type and concentrates very much on practical examples so complementing other architects’ reference books. It features:
- a brief introduction to the key design considerations for each building type
- numerous plans, sections and elevations for the building examples
- references to key technical standards and design guidance
- a comprehensive bibliography for most building types
The book also includes sections on designing for accessibility, drawing practice, and metric and imperial conversion tables.
