DETAIL IN CONTEMPORARY BATHROOM DESIGN(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　This book examines about 30 bathroom designs from around the
world, each one designed by a notable architect and created
especially for a specific residence. For each bathroom there is an
image of the whole house (placing it in context and providing a
flavour of the general design style), images of the bathroom, and a
floor plan showing its relation to the other spaces. The pages that
follow are entirely devoted to detailed drawings showing the
arrangement and construction of the bathroom, in particular
sections, elevations, and construction details of all the fitted
units and joinery. These drawings are all made to a consistent
style and to a set number of scales for easy comparison. Dimensions
are also included with the drawings as well as details of fitted
units (baths, showers, basins etc.). The credits for the projects
include contact details of suppliers so that the exact materials
and fixtures can be sourced. The projects are arranged into
chapters by type of dominant material: glass, steel, stone, etc.
The book will be invaluable for all practising architects as well
as those considering commissioning a high-quality bathroom for
their own house.
