""Modern Construction Envelopes"" is based on the two books by Andrew Watts ""Modern Construction Roofs"" and ""Modern Construction Facades"". Both volumes have been gathered into one single volume and unified in terms on content, which permits the consideration of facades and roofs as envelopes. This is of particular interest as to design and its creative freedom.Using current examples of renowned architects, Andrew Watts presents the constructive and material related details. This presentation is based on an easy-to-understand text, photos, and standardized detail drawings as well 3D represe

A compact presentation of the loadbearing structures and the physics necessary for roof construction, in addition to the current standards and directives, make this volume an indispensable standard work. Built examples illustrate the theoretical details. Some 38 examples, which include 11 classic buildings and 27 structures from the last five years, show the construction of roofs, paying particular attention to important features such as ridge, hip, eaves, valley, verge and penetration. The book is devided according to the type of roof elements and jointing techniques. Thirteen kinds of roofs and the relevant materials, including tatch, wood, slate, clay, concrete, fibre-cement, bitumen, glass, metal, membranes and synthetic materials are documented. Also described in detail are essential topics such as ventilation, vapour barriers and airtightness, insulation and drainage ; refurbishment and energy conservation are also examined in detail.
