Book Description
Excerpt from Elementary Building Construction and Drawing This book, which has been compiled from Notes of Lectures delivered to the Day Students Of the People's Palace Technical Schools, is intended for the use, more particularly, of those pre paring for the examination in Elementary Building Construction and Drawing conducted by the Science and Art Department. The object in introducing the present work is to meet the growing demand for a suitable text-book, published at a price such as will bring it Within the reach of all. One has only to note the rapid strides which are now being made in technical education in order to realise that such a demand really exists. The chief aim of the writer has been to place before the student numerous examples of constructive details, which shall not only serve as illustrations to the text, but shall also afford the data necessary for making scale drawings of the various parts. With this end in view the diagrams have been carefully dimensioned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Building in Words
Author: Bettina Reitz-Joosse
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197610706
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Building in Words explores the relationship between text and architecture in the Roman world from the perspective of architectural process. Ancient Romans frequently encountered buildings under construction - they experienced noisy building work, disruptive transportation of materials, and sometimes spectacular engineering feats. Bettina Reitz-Joosse analyzes how Roman authors responded to the process of building and construction in their literary works. Roman authors tell stories of architectural creation to give meaning to finished monuments. Their narratives can stress technological or logistic mastery or highlight morally problematic aspects of construction, particularly in large-scale engineering projects. While offering descriptions of the process of creating architecture, Roman writers also reflect on the creation of their own works. Building in Words demonstrates the richness of the image of construction for literary composition: writers use it to comment on the aesthetics or ambition of their literary work, to articulate the power and durability, but also the fragility of literature. Reitz-Joosse here offers original readings of a range of literary authors of the early Roman empire, including Vergil, Pliny the Elder, Tacitus, and Statius, and places literary texts in dialogue with contemporary epigraphic and archaeological material. Through its focus on building as a process, Building in Words furthers our understanding of the aesthetics of both architecture and literature in ancient Rome.

Building Construction and Drawing 1906
Author: Charles F. Mitchell
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000535592
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
Originally published in 1881, but here reissuing the 1906 edition with a new introduction by Stephen J. Scaysbrook, the Mitchell Building and Construction books offer an unparalleled insight into construction techniques and materials. Originally written to provide a concise handbook and guide for students and for practitioners, this reissue of Mitchell’s 1906 First Stage or Elementary Course edition now provides a valuable addition to building pathology, allowing students and practitioners to research construction methods and materials pertinent to the period. Including over 1000 drawings, it is of no surprise to see Mitchell’s First Stage or Elementary edition start with a detailed explanation of the instruments and methods of drawing with pencil ink and tracing paper, emphasising the need to learn basic drawing skills and the need to think about a detail and the materials used to create a detail capable of lasting well over 100 years or more. The simple act of making a scale from a drawing with only one dimension may be lost to modern-day students, but not to Charles Mitchell, who describes the method and its use.
