Review: This well-illustrated textbook shows the principles of the currently-used main façade types, illustrating them with typical generic details, together with a built example, which can inform a design at a more detailed stage. Chapters each look at facades from the standpoint of their construction material: metal, glass, concrete, masonry, plastics and timber. These are preceded by an overview of façade design and discussion of the different materials that can be used.
