Architectural Details : Classic Pages from Architectural Graphic Standards 1940 - 1980 by Charles.
The 1932 first edition of Architectural Graphic Standards contained 233 pages; the tenth, published in 2000, is 1,100 pages. Yet even with this expansion, numerous pages were selected out over the decades to make space in each new edition for new standards.
This collection makes available a selection of those cast out pages, chosen for their relevance to the restoration and maintenance of existing buildings, and for their particularly compelling visual presentation of classic architectural data and standards.
The selection is also useful in showing, in side-by-side pages, the evolution over 70 years of specific design and practice details pertaining to particular topics.
