Roof Construction Manual: Pitched Roofs
From Birkhäuser’s DETAIL series, which breaks down highly specific building information into comprehensive reference volumes. This edition brings together 2,000 illustrations, photographs, and a wide range of built examples, offering an in-depth resource on the construction of pitched roofs.
Organized into chapters, the manual examines roof elements and joining techniques, covering 13 different types of roofs and their relevant materials, including thatch, slate, fiber cement, glass, and more. It also addresses essential considerations such as ventilation and insulation. The latter half of the volume is dedicated to fully illustrated case studies and detailed plans of completed projects, featuring 11 classic buildings and 27 structures from the late 1990s and early 2000s, together serving as a thorough technical reference reflecting early 21st-century approaches to roof design and construction. Item #1992.
