Oh boy, this is the book for architects - professionals only
We were doing some serious construction work on our home when we got this, I wanted to better understand what we were doing... this was WAY over my head.My sister works for a top London architect and could make a lot more sense of this, basically it is THE book for architects. If you aren't a professional, there are better choices but it'd be unfair to mark this down as it is highly regarded despite the fact I could not really understand it.
