The architect's favorite handbook—now in an up-to-date, new edition! The Architect's Studio Companion is the labor-saving design resource that architects, engineers, and builders have relied on for years. Now in its Fifth Edition, this industry standard maintains its reputation as a reliable tool for the preliminary selecting, configuring, and sizing of the structural, environmental, and life safety systems of a building. Bestselling authors Edward Allen and Joseph Iano reduce complex engineering and building code information to simple approximations that enable designers to lay out the fundamental systems of a building in a matter of minutes—without getting hung up on complicated technical concepts. Complete with a convenient flex binding that lies flat for easy use, The Architect's Studio Companion, Fifth Edition gives you quick access to reliable rules of thumb that offer vital help for the preliminary design of: structural systems; heating, cooling, and electrical systems; building code height and area limits; exit stairways and other egress provisions; accessibility regulations; surface parking and structured parking garages; and daylight provisions. Additionally, this new edition gives you: <ul>
<li>The most current building codes in the United States and Canada</li> <li>New coverage of passive heating and cooling systems</li> <li>Guidelines for designing for natural ventilation</li> <li>Extensively updated structural design guidelines</li> </ul>
Packed with useful information, The Architect's Studio Companion, Fifth Edition is the definitive resource that no architect should be without.

The Architect's Studio Companion: Rules of Thumb for Preliminary Design

At your fingertips—reliable, usable answers to thousands of technical and code-related questions 
When you're in the preliminary design phase of an exciting project, you need fast reliable answers to important questions about building codes, egress planning, structural systems, and mechanical systems. This second edition of the book that Architectural Record calls a "must have" renders engineering and building code information in simple approximations that you can work right into your designs. The Architect's Studio Companion, Second Edition is completely updated to cover the latest editions of BOCA, The Standard Building Code, The Uniform Building Code, and the National Building Code of Canada. It is fully cross-referenced to guide you through the major provisions of all the model building codes; and extensive appendixes provide important supplementary information on height and area limitations, toilet room fixture requirements, construction types, units of conversion, and more. This indispensable guide makes it fast and easy to: <ul>
<li>Determine which building code applies to your design</li> <li>Proportion the elements of the structural system—no calculations required</li> <li>Lay out a code-conforming egress design</li> <li>Size and lay out necessary spaces for mechanical and electrical systems</li> </ul>
For students and professional architects alike, this is one of the most important books you will ever place in your library—a user-friendly tool for ensuring code compliance before you get too deeply into the design process. Edward Allenis a faculty member at the Yale University School of Architecture. His books on architecture are read and used in universities and professional offices throughout the world, with more than 150,000 copies in print.

Now in its Fourth Edition, Fundamentals of Building Construction is an essential textbook that has been used by thou-sands of students annually in schools of architecture, engineering, and construction technology.
