- Summary:
- This large format volume (11x8.75"), part of a series in modern architectural techniques, explores the use of doors and windows in contemporary design projects. Intended to provide both theoretical and practical information, the work examines both broad principles of aesthetic placement and design as well as technical specifications from a construction perspective that inform proper use. Chapters cover architectural elements such as doors, windows, passages, shutters and baffles and discuss the geometry, materials, ambiance and intermediate spaces related to their integration into the larger design. Color illustrations and photographs are included throughout, along with numerous technical drawings. The authors are architects associated with the Technische Universitat Darmstadt, Germany.
