Description

The book will also tell you about the relationship between building materials and building technology, between materials and architectural forms, and between materials and the creative art of the architect. It furnishes a fairly detailed survey of the most-used materials and products, with emphasis on their functional and aesthetical properties and optimum applications. However, it gives just the basic facts as regards the raw materials and manufacturing techniques. There is nothing strange in that the book is intended for those who will use the materials and not for those who will manufacture them. This is its main distinction from many other text-books and guides to materials.
