About this title

Synopsis

A guidebook to how the Philadelphia firm Kieran Timberlake builds their buildings. It offers to reveal the architect's "trade secrets", opening the firms files of details to show us how things are made. Anyone who has looked at a building or a staircase or a shelf and wondered "How did they do that?" should find the answer here. The volume discloses Kieran Timberlake's design strategies - such as framing, joining, hinging, scaling and lining - and illustrates them with photographs and detailed working drawings from 29 built projects ranging from houses to schools.
