Average Customer Ratings:

The fine points of early twentieth-century masterpieces redrawn from the original architects' working drawings.

Building Details, reproduced from a rare and beautiful portfolio, clarifies details that continue to confront architects today and explains how the buildings we admire were put together. Frank M. Snyder paid careful attention to scale, materials, and dimensions, and incorporated full explanatory notes. A new introduction sets the drawings in their historical context. 120 illustrations, plus CD-ROM.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Great Architectural Reprint -
This is a reducted size reprint of Frank Synder's 12 part serial BUIDLING DETAILS from 1906 to 1914 which consisted of plates of architectural details redrawn from the leading architects of the day. Each plate, often including at least partial elevations and/or sections, is masterly composed with an occasional thumbnail photo giving additional clarification. The range of projects is great, from schools, churches, banks, and government buildings, to fine homes.

Other than identification and limited notes on the plates there is no descriptive text as such, however. The introduction by Pennoyer and Walker only discusses the significance of Synder's original work and others of the same ilk. While these technical drawings would undoubtedly be a valuable reference to architects practicing in the classical mode, they might be too limiting to interest the non-professional.
