Review: This well-illustrated student textbook shows the principles of the main roof types used today. It illustrates this through typical generic details, together with a built example, that can inform a design at a more detailed stage. The six chapters examine roofs from the standpoint of the main material used in their construction: from metal to glass, concrete, timber, plastics and fabrics. Built examples are used to illustrate specific properties.
