Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - ''The Rudiments of the Art of Building'' is a comprehensive guide to the basics of construction and architecture, written by John Bullock and originally published in 1853. The book is divided into five sections, each covering a different aspect of building, from the materials and tools used to the design and construction of different types of buildings. The first section of the book covers the various materials used in building, including stone, brick, timber, and iron. It also discusses the tools and equipment used in construction, such as hammers, saws, and planes. The second section focuses on the principles of design, including the importance of proportion, symmetry, and balance in creating aesthetically pleasing buildings. It also covers the different styles of architecture, from Gothic to Classical, and the various features that define each style. The third section of the book delves into the actual construction process, including the preparation of the site, the laying of foundations, and the erection of walls and roofs. It also covers the installation of windows, doors, and other fixtures, as well as the finishing touches that give a building its final appearance. The fourth section of the book is devoted to the construction of specific types of buildings, including houses, churches, and public buildings. It provides detailed instructions and diagrams for each type of building, as well as tips for adapting designs to suit different climates and environments. Finally, the fifth section of the book covers the maintenance and repair of buildings, including strategies for preventing damage and techniques for restoring damaged structures. Overall, ''The Rudiments of the Art of Building'' is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in construction and architecture, providing a thorough and detailed overview of the building process from start to finish.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
