THE ARCHITECT’S STUDIO COMPANION The latest edition of the guidebook every architect needs at their fingertips, updated and expanded throughout Start your designs on solid ground with The Architect’s Studio Companion! This comprehensive handbook provides everything you need for the preliminary selecting, configuring, and sizing of the structural, environmental, safety, accessibility, and parking systems of a building. Edward Allen and Joseph Iano, authors of the market-leading Fundamentals of Building Construction, use their trademark talent for boiling down complex technical requirements into easy-to-use, time-saving guidelines for the engineering and architectural design of buildings. The new seventh edition is updated with new building codes, new information on heating and cooling systems for buildings, new structural systems, new requirements for tall mass timber buildings, and more. Throughout the text, straightforward diagrams and user-friendly explanations help you lay out the most important systems of a building in a matter of minutes without stressing about complicated technical concepts. Use this guide to introduce building systems into the early stages of design, and greatly reduce the need for later revisions or redesign???and keep your projects on time and on budget. Streamline your design process today with The Architect’s Studio Companion: Explore alternative structural systems quickly and efficiently Compare the carbon impacts of alternative system choices… at a glance Stay current with the latest information about tall mass timber buildings Access information on high-performance heating and cooling systems, passive design, natural daylighting, and other sustainable design strategies with ease Incorporate U.S. and Canadian building code requirements and accessibility regulations into your designs More than just a reference, The Architect’s S

출판사 서평

I find the previous edition to be valuable in my design studio teaching. In this context, it is most useful as a quick reference for students to understand dimensional requirements for structural members and egress components, and to understand the differences among various HVAC systems. Its major strengths are (1) the structural tables for columns, beams and slabs of various materials--in my teaching, this is the most-used part of the book; (2) the code summaries including egress issues (egress paths, stairs, maximum travel distance, etc.), and (3) the diagrams and descriptions of different HVAC systems. However, some students have found difficulty navigating the code-related topics in the book. I don't have a good solution to this, but perhaps defining a workflow or thought process to follow would help: what type of building is it? > what is the floor area? > how many exits are needed? > how far apart do the exits need to be? > what is the minimum required width? > etc. I would appreciate more information about structural rules-of-thumb relating to cantilevers, deep trusses (story-high trusses), and lateral bracing. The inclusion of mass timber structures in the latest edition has been useful. Any new or more specific information related to timber would be appreciated. Yes, I do agree that information on embodied carbon impacts would be useful. I am not sure which variables affect this impact, but a table or a formula that can be used to compare the embodied carbon of different materials would be useful. I thin comparison is the key, and this information can then become one of the criteria used in selecting a structural material. -Scott Murray, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign I have used, and still do use, this text specific to my Structural Design Courses. Within the text, I focus on the first part dedicated to structural systems. I appreciated the addition of CLT in the sixth edition, as my students have had burgeoning interests in the material.
