A companion volume to the hugely popular Modern Construction Handbook, Modern Construction Roofs is a textbook for architects and structural and environmental engineers who wish to broaden their understanding with techniques that can be applied internationally. The six chapters are organized according to the primary materials used in roof construction: metal, glass, concrete, timber, plastics, and fabrics. Each set of double page spreads contains drawings and annotated details that explain specific forms of roof construction. Built examples from high-profile designers are also included to illustrate specific principles. With over fifteen years experience working as an architect in facade and roofs detailing, author Andrew Watts offers detailed know-how in Modern Construction Roofs.
