Anyone seeking to understand the basic principles underlying architectural design will find this classic source book an invaluable addition to the bookshelf. Haneman's 1,800 captioned, clear line drawings on 70 large-size plates comprise an inexhaustible storehouse of suggestion and inspiration for architects, designs, preservationists and others.

Presented here are hundreds of details covering scores of architectural elements, including aisles, approaches, balconies, columns, doorways, dormers, fireplaces, mantels, plazas, ramps, roofs, stairs, wells, windows, and much more.

The work offers more than 50 details of chimneys alone, ranging from those at the side of a building to a less than usual variant terminating in an octagonal campanile.

All designs emphasize general architectural concepts and are applicable to a broad range of styles. They are systematically arranged and grouped — a cross-referenced table of contents doubles as an index. All information is thus readily accessible and easily located. Bibliography. Captions.

encyclopedia of historical architectural plans

ByJames Carrollon March 12, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Very detailed book. Though short it does give you a large amount information about construction in the historical context. It does skip hypocaust systems so we will have to find another book on that subject.

Sending it back or reselling

ByUnknownon August 12, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I really don't get it. This should not be called a book. This not help with identifying any architectural styles. It has just a bunch of line drawings from plans. Probably a good tool for drafting. Not what I expected.

Doesn't include measurements

Bydlgon July 11, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I guess I expected measurements, but not sure why I had that expectation. The drawings are detailed and what I was expecting, though small to fit so many onto a page. This should be a good reference for what I need.
