Details about Building Structures Illustrated: Patterns, Systems, and Design:

While typical structures textbooks show how to design "members" of a structure, there is little consideration given to structural design as part of the entire building design process.

Ching brings together so many aspects of architectural design as an integrated reference. Designers, builders, and students alike will gain a new understanding of structural principles and planning, without the need for complex mathematics.
