Customer Reviews
Excellent Book
this is a good reference book when diagraming a structure. It has many examples and we work out of it frequently in studio.
Precedents in Architecture
The book is invaluable in how architect's treat the circulation and traffic flow of their buildings. The condition of the book is everything the seller promised.
