The Tool
for Design |
The
architectural design world has anxiously awaited the Tenth Edition
of Architectural Graphic Standards. And this new edition won't
disappoint even the highest expectations. With more than half
of its 1,092 pages either revised or expanded or both, the Tenth
Edition brings the state of the art of architectural design well
into the next century. But just as significant-and perhaps more
so-is the CD-ROM Version 3.0. This powerful electronic companion
now contains every word, every drawing, every reference and every
spec found in the traditional book, and more. Much more. The CD-ROM
Version 3.0 now offers the designer an incredibly capable and
flexible tool-for saving time and effort, yes, but also for producing
better work. The CD-ROM features a powerful new 32-bit platform,
a vast array of CAD drawings and additional industry Web links,
product specs and Association e-mail addresses and Web sites.
The net result? Now designers are able to instantly access the
full wealth of information contained in the Tenth Edition and
at the same time link to industry information on the Internet.
Taken together, the book and CD-ROM formats of Architectural Graphic
Standards offer anyone working in the field of architecture, construction,
facilities management, landscape or interior design a fast, flexible
and reliable tool, a thoroughly modernized and up-to-date source
of information, and a fountainhead of inspiration.
1,092 pages, over 10,000 drawings. And that's just the book.
As architecture is poised to enter the next century, the new Tenth
Edition of Architectural Graphic Standards stands ready as the
architectural designer's most useful and reliable resource. Long
trusted as a reliable source of basic building data and design
technology, the new edition builds on years and years of construction
industry knowledge. Now with 1,092 pages-over 600 of them updated
and revised-the Tenth Edition reflects the latest changes in regulations,
standards, building methods, structural systems and materials
in use today.
Each of the 1,092 pages in the Tenth Edition is a fully self-contained
data sheet, detailing standard materials, installation and design
configurations, and recommended performance specifications for
the pertinent building system or component. |
