How will The Architecture Handbook benefit students who don’t plan to become architects?
We all participate in the process of making decisions about architecture, whether we are homeowners choosing where to live or what to build, citizens deciding how their community looks, architects designing buildings, or workers constructing buildings. In addition to architectural concepts of design and technical drawing, the textbook includes chapters that tie directly to many other professions in the built environment: the construction trades, structural engineering, landscape architecture, urban planning, and architectural history. Each chapter of the teacher edition lists those professions that will benefit from the information and skills presented there.
