An essential tool for architects, interior designers, set designers and related professionals, this book offers a rich library of visual references for every research need. An illustrated glossary of technical terms offers a vocabulary for professional communication and a comprehensive index of subject matter and materials makes it easy to find just the image you need.
How do courses of brickwork accommodate the shape of an arch? Exactly what happens at the intersection of two stone walls? What is the profile of a molding where a cornice wraps around the corner of a building? Solving these problems with style and elegance is the hallmark of good design; the resulting solutions are the structural and decorative details that are emblematic of historic periods and become the signatures of individual styles and designers.
This addition to the acclaimed Surfaces series catalogues hundreds of different architectural features. Its more than 1,400 high-quality colour photographs capture the texture, colour, grain and shape of architectural details organized by subject: walls, facades, ornament and molding, columns, posts and arches, windows, doorways, ceilings and roofs, floors and pavement.
• The 2 CD-ROMs include easy-to-use screen-resolution TIFF files of every image and the complete glossary of terms.
