How Buildings Work by Edward Allen

Illustrated with many line drawings, this guide provides information on a building's function: how it stands up, keeps its occupants safe and comfortable, gets built, grows old, and dies - and why some buildings do this so much better than others. It is intended for architects, superintendents, and students of architecture and construction.
'well written' * Graham Southorn, BBC Focus *
Edward Allen has taught at MIT, Yale University, and the University of Oregon. He has published nine books on the hows and whys of construction and architecture.
