No guarantee is given that any detail shown in this book will be suitable for a particular use, and any detail similar to, or based upon those shown should not be used without expert advice as to suitability Printed in Great Britain by Mackays of Chatham Ltd FOREWORD ‘The object of the original series of Architects’ Working Details, published first in the weekly Architects’ Journal and then as a set of 15 books by the Architectural Press, was to find the equivalent to the professional and scientific tradition of precedent in medicine and law, built up through the exchange of information. The working details were intended both to cover everyday design problems and to record the latest stage in the development of a design solution and so provide the architect with a starting point from which he could develop ‘own improvements. This selection of some 100 details (there is a further set of 100 in the companion volume to this book), from over 1600 originally published between 1953 and 1971, is intended to reflect those original aims. Some are chosen as classic examples of good design of everyday architectural elements. Others have been selected because they represented, at the time of their design, the latest stage in the development of a design problem. Inevitably some of the details shown reflect the interests of their time, which are not necessarily those of today ~ for instance, the preoccupation with the curtain wall, and the abundance of canopies (now reduced to a few classic examples). ‘The popularity of the original series, year after year, shows how great a gap it filled Similarly this selection should be an essential document for those who do not have the original series of Architects’ Working Details. ‘The Publishers CONTENTS WALLS Copper-faced wall: University of Durham.
