With more than 20,000 words and terms individually defined, the Dictionary offers huge coverage for anyone studying or working in architecture, construction or any of the built environment fields. The innovative and detailed cross-referencing system allows readers to track down elusive definitions from general subject headings. Starting from only the vaguest idea of the word required, a reader can quickly track down precisely the term they are looking for. The book is illustrated with stunning drawings that provide a visual as well as a textual definition of both key concepts and subtle differences in meaning. Davies and Jokiniemi's work sets a new standard for reference books for all those interested in the buildings that surround us.

off-site fabrication Off-site fabrication is a topic of international interest and provides an effective construction technique in terms of quality, time, cost, function, productivity and safety. It is adopted worldwide as the ideal means of producing an immense array of elements from structural members, cladding units, bathrooms to fully-finished modular buildings. This practical book provides a complete guide to the subject, covering the principles, applications and implications for design and construction. Numerous case studies and examples from around the world illustrate the flexibility and adaptability of off-site fabrication. Practitioners, researchers and students in civil and structural engineering, building and construction, construction management and related subjects, will find the book provides excellent guidance to the technology and its effective implementation.
