## Description

For one- or two-semester courses in Construction Methods and Materials and Design in Architecture. Promoting comprehensive understanding in general and complex concepts in construction Exceptionally well-received and one of the most acclaimed university-level books on construction, Building Construction, Principles, Materials and System s is a comprehensive and fully illustrated introduction to construction methods and materials. It’s informed by a core philosophy that sufficient grounding in the principles and science of construction is the best way to equip today’s designers and constructors to respond successfully to rapid changes in the built environment. By ensuring students are well-versed in the science and technology of materials and systems, the text aims to better prepare architects, engineers, and constructors to produce a resilient and sustainable built environment―a need that will grow with increasing urbanization across the globe. The science of building construction and design is evolving more quickly than ever before. The Third Edition of this outstanding text builds on the previous versions. It incorporates the latest updates available, features over one thousand new end-of-chapter problems, and now addresses common errors related to the topic. The organization of the text fosters a definitive understanding of general concepts before moving on to more complex concepts. Emphasizing a visual approach to learning, it includes original illustrations.

Review: Great ARE Source - I read this book cover to cover 3 times and it helped me pass the ARE. I liked it so much that I gave my two copies to friends who are still taking the ARE and bought a hardcover copy for my personal library. The book is very thorough and explained many details of construction in ways that are easy to remember and understand. I've had my fair share of reference and exam prep books, but this one is by far the best and most comprehensive of them all. Highly recommend it to those who are taking the ARE!
Review: Thank you, desertcart delivery for the service - Thankfully it really in a good condition and I'm happy with the service of delivery big thanks. The book is clean and well worth the price and quality it used but looks new and well maintained No damages and clean papers and clean image a and words. Thank you for the great services and trust declaration of the description of the product.

Arrive ontime and in good condition. I bought this book as a requirement for a college course at UAB. So far it seems to have a thorough understanding of the construction industry coupled with lots of practical information.
