Updated to reflect the most current codes and standards, this new 12th edition features more than 300 new drawings, tables, and designs and 25 percent new content. In response to architects' feedback and overwhelming demand for a more graphics-heavy format, this edition employs shorter, more accessible texts and more images of the standards and evolution of design and construction. New coverage includes building resiliency and the building envelope, expert discussion on the fundamentals of design and construction documentation, and new examination of environmental factors and material properties and performance. Sustainable design is no longer separated, but incorporated throughout, and extensive appendices keep useful data right at your fingertips.

Architectural Graphic Standards, 12th Edition features:

• Key architectural design and production processes-functional planning, environmental assessment, building resiliency, and architectural construction documentation
• Thorough coverage of materials: concrete, masonry, metals, wood, plastics, composites, and glass
• An exhaustive survey of building elements-substructures, shells, services, equipment, furnishings, special structures, and site works
