A concise yet comprehensive softcover volume, this first cumulative supplement reflects the most important technological, regulatory and market developments since publication of the Eighth Edition of Architectural Graphics Standards in 1988. This book will update, replace or augment the material in the master volume, providing leading-edge information on building standards, materials assemblies, details and specs. It includes revised pages on composite structural elements, glued laminated timber, site security and public access devices, access floors, and electrical wiring materials. There is also substantial new material on residential landscape design, stonework details, granite, terra cotta and ceramic veneer, Euro-Cabinetry, exterior insulation, and finish systems.
