Summary: A Great Resource.
Comment: I have found this book so helpful that it sits immediately adjacent to my copy of Architectural Graphic Standards.

If you follow architectural publications, you will find this handbook catalogs recent noteworthy works that you are familiar with, and many others that you are not. Specifically, this book is organized according to specific building component types (i.e. curtainwall systems, millwork, stairs.) For each of these types, the book offers a color photograph of a built example, and then several blackline details revealing the technical composition required for such an aesthetic effect. The best thing is, the book offers 3+ examples of each component type.

I recommend this book for all practicing architects who are involved in all scales of building types.
