Aluminium Architecture: Construction and details > Customer Review #1:
Its a must reading to understand aluminium in architecture

Ive been in the aluminium industry (specifically what regards building applications) for almost ten years and this book covers a gap that existed in the publishg market, i.e. books concerning roofing applications.

It demonstrates very clearly and in plain English what aluminium is about (the basic principles such as corrosion resistance, alloys, history of the metal and so on), what the possibilities of this versatile material are in building, many case studies and so on.

I think that the author could have informed the details of the suppliers in order to get to know a little bit more about the finished products.

I also consider this a valuable work not only for experienced professionals but also for civil engineering and architecure students because veery little is taught about his metal in those courses.
