DICTIONARY

ARCHITECTURAL

AND

BUILDING

TECHNOLOGY

Fourth edition

The Dictionary of Architectural and

Building Technology is a compre-

hensive summary of vocabulary used

across the building industry, from

the preparation of the brief through

architectural and technical design and

documentation, to construction tech-

nology and facilities management.

This fourth edition has added 1750

new or substantially revised entries,

and over 330 of the existing entries

have been updated. There are 70 addi-

tional illustrations. The terms have

been assembled and cross-referenced

by specialists from a range of discip-

lines with considerable international

experience. SI metric and Imperial

units are included, and line drawings

enhance the explanations.

This impressively comprehensive

work will enable students and profes-

sionals coming from technical, man-

agement and professional fields to

grasp vocabulary from outside their

areas as they contribute towards the

built environment.
