Building and architecture has developed a language of its own; with terms and jargon that can confuse an expert let alone an outsider. Misunderstandings over what a word means can be irritating but unimportant; but could in the worst cases be costly or even dangerous.Traditional building dictionaries rely on the reader to already know what the correct word is; and thats not always the case. Roxanna McDonalds technique is radically different; and makes full use of the power of visual communication to convey information. Each stage of the building and design process is illustrated; and each hand-drawn illustration is carefully labelled with the relevant technical terms; to ensure that each term is used correctly and consistently by everyone working on a project.The Illustrated Building Pocket Book is a radical approach to the age-old problem of the ambiguous use of technical language in building and architecture. By using drawings ndash; which leave little room for ambiguity ndash; clarity; safety and certainty can be achieved.
