Dictionary of Architecture Construction



Leave it to Frank Ching to use exquisite hand drawings to help define important and often complex architectural concepts. A Visual Dictionary of Architecture covers everything from major architectural concepts (structures, light, history, form, design) down to the smallest detail (stair treads, fasteners, conduit types, wood joinery). As the title suggests, the book is organized as a dictionary - in alphabetical order.


This website is intended to be an authoritative work of reference for the history of Canadian architecture during the study period of 1800 to 1950, and it contains biographies of over 2,800 architects who lived and worked in Canada as well as those architects who resided in the United States, Britain and elsewhere, and for whom it is now possible to link their names with buildings constructed in this country.


This Dictionary website lists every Canadian building of importance erected between 1800 and 1950 whose architect can be identified, together with essential information on the date of the design, and the date of construction, alteration or demolition of the work. It is based on extensive original research conducted over a period of thirty-five years, much of it unpublished, and provides critically important information including the names of many Canadian architects previously unknown, as well as references to many buildings whose authorship is unrecorded in other sources. Every citation of fact is based on the original sources quoted in the entries. These entries include an accurate list of each architect's work, arranged in chronological order, and may also include an assessment of his or her place in Canadian architectural history and, where appropriate, are accompanied by a comment on the style and aesthetic quality of the work.


The Dictionary website is intended to correct this imbalance, by making available a substantial amount of information in the form of hard, ascertainable facts that have been too difficult to locate, or too time-consuming to gather from obscure sources and collections scattered across the country. It is hoped that this website will prove useful to those who are interested in Canadian architecture, including academics, historians, conservationists, architects, planners, students, heritage officers, and to anyone with an interest in the rich and varied architectural history of Canada.


A VISUAL DICTIONARY OF THE DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION PROCESS -- FROM CONTRACT TO DESIGN TO BUILDING In the format he created and popularized, architectural authority Ernest Burden delivers another essential reference for building professionals, contractors, students, and architecture fans. The first fully illustrated reference spanning the design/construction process, Ernest Burden's Illustrated Dictionary of Building Design and Construction supplies an incomparable source of definitions of design, construction, contracts, materials and applications, and financial terms, and the links between them. MASTER THE PROCESS, DEFINITION BY DEFINITION Beautifully written, carefully cross-referenced, and unique in its status as a true A-to-Z visual resource, the Illustrated Dictionary of Building Design and Construction is the perfect way to gain a complete understanding of the way buildings come into being. Author Ernest Burden's unique resource contains nearly 5,000 definitions and more than 1,500 illustrations. There is no comparable reference. You'll find full details and pictorial coverage of: Project Management Construction Procedures Design-Build Eco-Design and Green Building Materials and Applications There is no better way to gain insight into the coordination of the design/construction process than Ernest Burden's Illustrated Dictionary of Building Design and Construction.

ARCHIDICT is a response to this fundamental need. Its main product, the Illustrative Multilingual Dictionary for Architects, Builders & Construction Workers has emerged from a transnational partnership consisting of organisations from eight European countries and supported by the European Commission within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme. The multilingual dictionary is already available in nine (9) languages: English, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Hungarian, Greek and Bulgarian, and it has the potential for further extensions in the future.


A dictionary is an essential tool for any language learner, but it can be challenging for many learners or professionals to use one effectively. Illustrated dictionaries use pictures, visuals, graphics and diagrams to logically group words together and allow any student to understand their significance. They are excellent for learning another language or for mastering technical knowledge. Each picture in the dictionary expresses an individual meaning, and these combine to give a deeper context of the whole. Whilst learning a language, spelling can be a highly problematic area, even for native speakers, especially when in relation to technical words. ARCHIDICT offers a comprehensive list of technical terms in many languages in order to know the correct spelling. Pronunciation is another significant advantage of an electronic or online dictionary, and ARCHIDICT offers the option to hear the terms. This enhances your listening and speaking skills, enabling a more professional personal presentation and a correct pronunciation to reinforce your learning path. The creators of ARCHIDICT think of it as a versatile tool adaptable to different users. According to your needs, whether work-related or connected to educational frameworks, this multilingual and illustrative dictionary will facilitate your job and your learning processes as well as your ability to communicate using these specialist terms. 041b061a72
