From the publishers of Architectural Graphic Standards . . . a showcase of inspiring contemporary architecture Graphic Standards Details: Openings presents a new collection of elegant openings-doors, windows, and passageways-to inspire and instruct architectural designers. It features two dozen projects culled from an open competition of today's leading architects, including Diller Scofidio + Renfro; Smith-Miller + Hawkinson Architects; Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates; Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects; and Wilkinson Eyre Architects. This rich, visual resource offers readers the chance to examine hundreds of detailed construction drawings for a broad range of architectural scales-from residential interiors to a city gateway-including: A surprisingly beautiful chiller plant Houses that open to the elements with disappearing walls Stunning commercial entryways A rural house fabricated from recycled materials An impossibly twisting skyway bridge And more! Every project presented here includes color photographs of the completed work, a descriptive narrative, and expertly drawn details that illustrate how each was constructed. Providing inspiration and problem-solving knowledge, Graphic Standards Details: Openings is a valuable resource for architects, project managers, and designers.Talarico, Wendy is the author of 'Graphic Standards Details Openings', published 2005 under ISBN 9780471465300 and ISBN 0471465305.
