Customer Reviews
A book to literally be kept in the pocket - Rated Being an architecture student I keep this book with me whenever I am working on projects, be it at work or at university. It is unbelievable how much information Baden-Powell has managed to cram into this tiny book. Among others, some of the topics covered in the book are common furniture sizes, staircases, brick types, soil, wheelchair user space requirements and even drainage, heating and lightbulbs! This book really is a MUST if you are in the architectural field and even if you aren't this book is useful for anyone doing any kind of construction, design or engineering. I would not have survived my degree without this book since it has lots of very useful, "must-know" information which may take ages to find! An excellent book, you won't be disappointed. Very handy - Rated I've referred to this almost every day. It's been even more useful than the Metric Handbook. An Essential for Pocket or Toolbox - Rated . If you are in any way involved in construction on a domestic scale, the Architect's Pocket Book is a must. It evolved from a set of notes used by the author, collating the diverse practical information regularly required in her work as an architect. So many friends requested copies that she ditched the photocopier in favour of a publishing deal, and thank heaven she did! Nowhere else can you find concise notes that cover the whole spectrum of information needed for smaller projects. The book is divided into six sections, namely General Information, Planning, Structures, Services, Building Elements and Materials. There is also an appendix containing addresses, a list of sources and an index followed by a few pages for your own scribbles. Within the sections you find a wealth of information, tables and diagrams that cover such useful topics as drawing conventions, anthropometric data, weight of materials, safe loads on subsoils, concrete mixes, lintel sizes, beam formulae, heat loss, timber stress grade tables, types of nails, identifying wood boring beetles, plasterboard dimensions and much, much more. The book measures 185mm x 125mm x 17mm thick and has 305 pages. Whether you are an architect, developer, student, interior designer, builder, or DIY enthusiast, this book will be relevant and of great practical use to you. My copy is a trusted and well thumbed friend. Students need this! - Rated Not just useful for architecture, i am an interior design student at uni.Its not all about decorating you know and I wouldnt have survived my1styear without the help of this book. Especially because I havent come froman architectural background I did find it hard but this book helped loadz! Arch student? Get it! - Rated Almost as essential as your drawing pen, no architecture student should be without this. Easy to use and just the right level of depth for you to scale and detail domestic-scale buildings with ease.
