Book Title: Modern Construction Envelopes
Author: Andrew Watts
Selection Statement:
This well-illustrated book provides a reference to understand the design and construction of building envelopes, in terms of their functions, relationships, effects, and aesthetics. It really extended my understanding of building envelopes, with examples and case studies detailing classic and recent technologies. This book also gave me the “how” and “why” of such design and construction methods for building envelopes rather than the “what.”
