Description
The book gathers a quality selection of proven and time-tested construction details from literature (books, magazines, pattern books) from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries for still functional and widespread construction systems of brick houses. Here, the reader will find details of formwork, timber framing, masonry constructions, infill openings, roofs, fittings, cladding, and more. The images are accompanied by a short insightful commentary or a description of the procedure for executing a specific detail. The authors also point out mistakes that may occur during execution and which can devalue the entire work. For selected details, comments include variants from the current design and technological standards of construction. The book will inspire not only heritage conservationists, architects, and designers but also students of construction schools and property owners. Last but not least, it will serve as a guide for construction companies dealing with the restoration of historical buildings.
