Hi, I’m Emma…
This is why I wrote the book
In the past I have spent hours searching for details, trying to find an example of a detail so that I can understand the construction a bit better. When I was at university I was really frustrated with how difficult it was to improve my construction knowledge. There just doesn’t seem to be much clear and concise information readily available on commercial and industrial construction. When you do find what you are looking for it is often difficult to digest. That is why I knew what a valuable resource this book would be for both architecture students and professionals.
After writing three successful construction books (Residential UK, Residential US and Basement construction), I know that this new edition of the Commercial Construction book really fills the gap I have experienced both as a student and professional.
Understanding Architectural Details, Emma Walshaw’s series of books and downloads are a valuable resource for students and professionals alike. She has really filled a hole in the market, particularly with the CAD and 3D downloads which offer standard construction build-ups that can be clearly understood.
The books are fantastic. I wish I’d bought them sooner. There really is a lack of liferature regarding architectural detailing in the uk but thankfully I found these books. They are the perfect resouce for any architecture student. They give a great overview of materials and importantly state the underlying principles of detailing with clearly explained details.
This product has benefited me so much that I couldn’t resist the urge to be grateful to Emma for her work by writing a testimonial.
I’m a construction management graduate from the UK and am currently running my own construction business. I purchased the full package of understanding architecture details by Emma including the 3d and 2d details which come with the package. This package has substantially expanded my technical knowledge and understanding about building elements and their details far beyond from what I learned at university. The package is awsome in terms of value for money. I highly recommend this package as a 1 stop solution for architecture details, for anyone related to the built environment as it offers such insightful and comprehensive knowledge regarding building elements and their architectural details. Last but not the least the 2d and 3d details in auto cad and sketchup is the cherry on top. Hats off for Emma and thankyou very much for you’re sincere efforts.
