The Architect′s Studio Companion – Rules of Thumb for Preliminary Design, Sixth Edition

Fantastic resource for both architects and students in studio, from preliminary to schematic design phases. The structural members section particularly is a life saver

great condition. great edition. very helpful as an architecture student when trying to follow code when designing buildings

This is a very good technical book for architects and what they have to consider when designing buildings. It contains all the key information required on such things as installation requirements of various heating systems, girders, wiring, plumbing, flooring and lighting etc. All the factors that have to be considered when house designing and building. This book is like a bible to architects all over the world, whether designing homes or commercial buildings. Contains lots of diagrams, graphs and tables.

I know what your thinking, it’s expensive. Why buy this textbook?? This is the most valuable textbook I was ever asked to buy. Has all the formulas and ada, ibc, and irc stuff that you don’t want to actually have to sort through the whole code books for. This one’s worth it.

Seems like a great book to have on hand. It looked brand new despite being a used copy
