Basics Building Construction is clearly structured and focused, and explains the characteristics of two traditional and elementary building materials, masonry and timber. The book familiarizes the reader with the most common construction systems, their rules and applications, and enables architectural students to contemplate creative solutions that may also be outside the standardised solutions offered by the construction industry.
