DESCRIPTION:
"a valiant and attractive attempt at the impossible" according to Chris Baumbach. What architect or architectural student has not dreamed of writing his or her own quick-reference book? How many of us carry around notebooks crammed with precious bits of information, hard won from years of experience, both good and bad? This book is an excellent attempt to formalize the most important and useful of that information. It's an attractive book printed in four tones with the occasional full-color spread and a "travel guide" feel. I wouldn't call it "pocketable" unless your pockets can accommodate an iPad Mini, but. "Really, really useful." according to GW. I keep this in my desk, bag, or wherever I'm working. It saves me so much time. There have been several times I with it had more in it, but then it wouldn't be so small and hence portable, present, useful 90% of the time I'm able to flip right to it. Time will probably come when I have many of these basic answers and standards memorized, but right now It's simply a lifesaver. It won't replace a larger book of standards, but it will save you a bunch of time and effort you would normally spend pulling a big book down and navigati. But that's fine as it's only a small reference book Adam Ohashi I reference this book all the time as part of my job at an Architecture firm. The diagrams are well thought out and it has all of the code related information that I need. It doesn't, however, have some of the more esoteric and obscure codes that I occasionally need. But that's fine as it's only a small reference book. In summary, it's a handy little book to keep in a drawer at my desk.

It distills the data provided in standard architectural volumes and is an easy-to-use reference for the most indispensable—and most requested—types of architectural information.. The Architecture Reference & Specification Book contains vital information that's essential to planning and executing architectural projects of all shapes and sizes, in a format that is small enough to carry anywhere. Most architectural standards references contain thousands of pages of details—overwhelmingly more than architects need to know to know on any given day
