Edward Allen has taught at MIT, Yale University, and the University of Oregon. He has published nine books on the hows and whys of construction and architecture.
From the Back Cover
Illustrated throughout with several hundred clear, sometimes whimsical line drawings, more than half of them from the author's own hand, this easy-to-read work reveals virtually every secret of a building's function: how it stands up, keeps its occupants safe and comfortable, gets built, grows old, and dies - and why some buildings do this so much better than others.
