The architect's favorite handbook-more informative and easier to use than ever! The Architect's Studio Companion is the laborsaving design resource that architects and builders have relied on for years. Now in its fourth edition, this industry standard continues its reputation as a reliable tool for the preliminary selecting, configuring, and sizing of the structural, mechanical, and egress systems of a building. Bestselling authors Edward Allen and Joseph Iano reduce complex engineering and building code information to simple approximations that enable the designer to lay out the fundamental systems of a building in a matter of minutes and get on with the design.

Now in a flex binding that makes it even easier to use, The Architect's Studio Companion, Fourth Edition provides quick access to reliable rules of thumb that offer vital help for selecting, configuring, and sizing:

Structural systems Heating, cooling, and electrical systems Egress provisions, including exit stairways, parking garages, and parking lots Daylight provisions The book concludes with precalculated tables of building code height and area limitations.

Expert technical guidance for the earliest stages of building design This laborsaving resource reduces complex engineering and building code information to simple approximations that can be easily incorporated into initial design explorations. It helps architects prepare buildable preliminary designs as a realistic basis for the more detailed design development stage that will follow.

Completely revised to reference the new International Building Code, this fully updated Third Edition responds to the growing interest in sustainable design solutions with a new section on daylighting. Like its predecessors, this new edition offers quick access to reliable rules of thumb that offer vital help for:

Selecting, configuring, and sizing the structural system Selecting heating and cooling systems Configuring and sizing mechanical and electrical systems Configuring and sizing egress systems Designing within building code height and area limitations The Architect's Studio Companion, Third Edition is a recommended study reference for the Building Planning section of the Architect's Registration Exam and an invaluable sourcebook that can save architects time and effort throughout their careers.

A supplement to the third revised edition of FUNDAMENTALS OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION: MATERIALS AND METHODS.

This must-have reference guides architects through the preliminary-design phase of building projects. It reduces complex engineering and building code information to simple formal and spatial approximations which are readily incorporated into initial design work. Formatted for quick and easy use by index tabs and comprehensive cross-references. This edition has been extensively updated to reflect important changes in the major building codes for the US and Canada. It also features enhanced charts and tables, ADA compliance data and new structural information on assigning approximate sizes to beams and columns.
