What separates good architecture from great architecture? The difference lies in the details. The way an architect chooses to treat architectural detailing—screens and walls, doors and windows, roofs, bridges, and stairs—can transform the merely ordinary into the extraordinary. Detail in Process, the second volume in the new AsBuilt series, features twenty-five awe-inspiring projects characterized by an unusual synthesis of aesthetics and materials: the sunshade at Morphosis’s Student Recreation Center in Cincinnati; the embossed and perforated copper skin of Herzog & de Meuron’s de Young Museum in San Francisco; the handrails at Miró Rivera Architects’, Lake Austin Footbridge in Austin; the stairs at Heatherwick Studios’, Longchamps Store in New York City; plus twenty more.
 
Editors Christine Killory and René Davids have collected the best work of the past two years including new buildings by some of today’s most daring and detail-obsessed architects, including Norman Foster, James Carpenter, John Ronan, Renzo Piano, Marmol Radziner, Tadao Ando, Steven Holl, Jean Nouvel, David Chipperfield, and SANAA. Comprehensively documented, Detail in Process includes the plans, details, and large-scale sections needed to appreciate the innovative ways these architects have responded to complicated design problems.

Excellent resource for architects -
This is the second book in the new AsBuilt series. Its like the In Detail series with beautifully presented images and drawings, but because all the projects (many different building types) are built in North America, most of the drawings have units of measurement and terminology currently used in the USA, and include materials available for construction in the United States. There are also more kinds of drawings, models and renderings than the typical formats usually found in books about details, which gives the series a dynamic, contemporary quality. Highly recommended.
