By Edward Allen and Joseph Iano

First published over a quarter century ago, Fundamentals of Building Construction: Materials and Methods has wrought a revolution in building construction education.

It made a previously unpopular area of study not merely palatable but vibrant and well liked.

It has taken a practical, and at times undervalued, body of knowledge and made it widely recognized as centrally relevant to good building design.

It has replaced dry, unattractive books with a well-designed, readable volume that students value and keep as a reference work.

Gaining a useful knowledge of the materials and methods of building construction is crucial and a necessity for

the student of architecture, engineering, or construction, but it can be a daunting task.

The field is broad, diverse, complex, and under constant change, such that it seems impossible to ever master.

Fundamentals of building construction 7th edition has gained its preeminent status as an academic text in this

field because of its logical organization, outstanding illustrations, clear writing, and distinctive philosophy.
