Following on from Graham Bizley's successful Architecture in Detail, Architecture in Detail II presents 40 case studies of detailing on recent construction projects. Over 150 full colour drawings and photos provide a reference compendium for the professional architect seeking detailing inspiration.

Originally featured in Building Design's In Detail magazine, the included projects represent some of the most interesting and innovative techniques in recent architecture. Graham Bizley's beautifully presented detail drawings allow the architect to easily see how ideas and techniques can be applied to other projects. The book is organised by building type for quick and easy reference.

Project Credits

The introduction and accompanying text for each project was written by Graham Bizley. The detail illustration for each project was drawn by Prewett Bizley Architects (Enrico Arrigoni, Graham Bizley, Joel Howland, Anurag Varma). All other drawings were supplied by the architects or engineers. I am grateful to the architects and clients for allowing their projects to be published in this book and for supplying the necessary information. The photographer for each image used is credited with the image and I am most grateful to them for allowing their images to be used.
