Book Reviews of Architectural Graphic Standards, 11th EditionBook Review: An exhaustive detailed reference. A little management perspective would add value. Summary: 4 StarsA standard reference work on building components and design considerations - with many excellent diagrams. Although the book has a technical focus, a little perspective on the constructability and suitablity of componets and systems for specific applications would add value.
Also, some additonal treatment of new chemical related technologies that are now mainstream, such as chemical anchors and carbon fiber reinforcing, would be helpful.
