Book description
An easy-to-use, updated illustrated guide to the 2012 edition of the
International Building Code
This unique reference to the 2012 International Building Code marries
the graphic skills of bestselling author Frank Ching with the code
expertise of Steven Winkel, FAIA. It pulls out the portions of the
building code that are most relevant for the architect and provides an
easy-to-understand interpretation in both words and illustrations.
Rather than a text-heavy book, this is much more conducive to quick
comprehension of the code, presenting information in an exciting
user-friendly visual format.
