 Great
reference material for architectural students
Reviewer:
A reader from Brooklyn, New York February 10, 1999
I am a professor at Pratt Institute's School of Architecture.
I teach a construction documents class for wood frame. This book
is an invaluable resource and my students use it exclusively for
a reference guide for their project. It is one of the best books
I have come across for its value. |
