Birkhauser Basics Series

Available at: Birkhauser
Price: $60.00
More Info: ribabookshops.com

Straightforward, diagrammatic, and enjoyable to read (adjectives rarely associated with building technology texts), the Birkhauser Basics Series is an excellent resource for the more technical aspects of architecture. Covering topics such as Masonry, Roof Construction, Materiality, Room Conditioning, and more, these thin, unpretentious volumes have been a lifesaver for many students. —Tiffany Chu
