Book Description
As a building type, housing represents by far the largest segment of the construction
industry. And in this revision of a very important design reference will be found
the very latest information-in graphic and text mode-on emerging trends in housing
design and technology: new forms of multi-unit housing, new demands from housing
owners (e.g., the "home office"), and new zoning and controls on site size and
location. This edition is thoroughly updated and refreshed, with some 40% brand
new or nearly new pages. Moreover, the remaining graphics will be redrawn where
necessary so as to bring up the overall "look-and-feel" of one of the most important
members of the TIME-SAVERS family.
