Recenzii

The Architect's Journal, 1st August, 1996
Alan Blanc, without methodological nervousness, plunges in ... the book is well served by numerous clear diagrams and plans ... filled with practical realism and down-to-earth detail ... a marvellous primer for every student'.

Detail, (German) 1996 'A worthwhile design aid. The structure is less systematic than pragmatic ... an excellent work.'

The Architectural Review July 1996
'a fascinating book - not putting the book down is the best way to treat it'




























'This is a fascinating book. The author's love of the subject is evident on
every page and it is very sad that he did not live to see publication. But
we can all be thankful that he did live to complete it.
..Blanc's enthusiasm carries one along and I could not put the book down.
This book is likely to commute between your architectural bookshelf at
home and your technical reference library at the office.'

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Stairs are a fundamental and universal feature of buildings. The late Alan Blanc, who had a lifetime's obsession with stairs and steps, has provided a definitive reference source which bridges the aesthetic and practical aspects of staircase design. The book is extensively detailed with working drawings and photographs. Construction methods using a variety of materials are discussed, as well as the influence of new technology on vertical circulation. The guidance on codes and regulations, covering the UK and North America is essential; the historical review and international case studies should inspire and give pleasure to the reader.
