内容简介
"Allen and Rand keep their attention on what adds up to make a great space while including sustainability and the International Building code to this edition。 Their concise patterns control water and air leakage， control heat and sound flow， accommodate movement， provide structural support， allow for mechanical and electrical services， maintain health and safety， consider the life cycle of the building， and ensure construction through ease of assembly， efficient use of construction resources， and judicious use of aesthetically satisfying but forgiving details。" （Book News， February 2008）
