Designing buildings is a tough thing to do when you start actually thinking about dimensions and what must go into and hold up the walls and ceilings. Once you get that figured out, then you have to think about how the inside is going to interact with people in the building. It’s hard to find books that have alot of useful information like this and that’s on a student’s level. Materials, Structures, Standards by Julia McMorrough is one such book. This book has a large amount of useful information that can be easily incorporated into a building design. Proportions, standard sizes, material characteristics, dimensions and building diagrams are just a few of the many things this book has to offer. This book is a MUST for any architecture design student and is worth way more than the $20 you’ll shell out for it!
