520 1 _a"Illustrated with hundreds of line drawings, this classic guide reveals virtually every secret of a building's function: how it stand up, keeps its occupants safe and comfortable, gets built, grows old, and dies - and why some buildings do this so much better than others. Edward Allen makes it easy for everyone - from armchair architects and sidewalk superintendents to students of architecture and construction - to understand the mysteries and complexities of even the largest building, from how it recycles waste and controls the movement of air, to how it is kept alive and growing."--BOOK JACKET.
