Description
This unique reference marries the graphic skills of bestselling author Frank Ching with the code expertise of Steven Winkel, It pulls out the portions of the building code that are most relevant for the architect and provides an easy-to-understand interpretation in both words and illustrations. This Second Edition covers the updates to the international building code for 2006. The building industry is moving toward a single set of construction codes that have no regional limitations. This single code replaces the three regional codes that have been used previously (the Uniform Building Code, the National Code, and the Standard Building Code). Now more than ever, architects need an interpretive guide to understand how the building code affects the early design of specific projects.
