The sixth edition is entirely new in organization and format but carries on the philosophy of earlier editions. It remains a source book and standards guide, and not a book of experimental, exotic or sophisticated techniques. It illustrates proven and current practice. The book will be exceptionally valuable to its users for establishing the general parameters of design in the early stages of a project. Although it includes overall design guidelines, it does not attempt to influence the technique of building construction since this process is the province of the practitioner. Throughout, an effort has been made to present materials free of bias in design either in a traditional or contemporary sense.
