In these times of an expanding technology as a means of creating architectural form, there are surprisingly few books which seek to explore the relationship between the overall intention of a project and the means of achieving it. In this sequel to the
authors' highly-acclaimed volume, The Building Envelope, details of examples of good modern buildings are examined and analysed on a comparative basis.

The buildings selected for these technical studies were chosen for their innovative use of materials and detailing. They represent the most recent work of leading international architects and will undoubtedly become a major source of inspiration for architects and engineers. The text is well supported by photographs and axonometric drawings which provide an essential three-dimensional study of the assembly of connections.

Review

'The book will be of interest to all in the building industry, and everyone should find some points of detail which will make a lasting impression.'
B. B. Russoff - The Structural Engineer, July 1994
'I always enjoy Alan Brookes' books because he is a practising architect as well as a writer, and it is the practical edge that makes the books worthwhile. The interest is in architecture as craft and it is written by a good craftsman.'
John Winter, The Architectural Review, August 1993 - The Architectural Review, August 1993
''Connections' provides an excellent and informative introduction to the advanced building technologies that are now available to Architects, Engineers and Product Designers. ...an invaluable resource for the whole design team.'
Kevin Reader, RIBA - ASI Journal, July 1994
