How to Learn Construction Details in Architecture School



To Learn Construction Details in Architecture School, I recommend a several things:

1. Use the book “Architectural Graphic Standards” as a reference while you design your buildings in studio. Cruise through the book and see what kind of information is in there. There is a lot: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0471533696/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0471533696&linkCode=as2&tag=drewpaulbell-20&linkId=c93b4548dbce19768deb75fce6fdb536
2. Refer to any of the books by Frank Ching like “Building Construction Illustrated” : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1118458346/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=drewpaulbell-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1118458346&linkId=e144ae09b3af9c831b40c4b89d4cdb9f
or “Building Structures Illustrated” : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1118458354/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=drewpaulbell-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1118458354&linkId=f4dfef0b88631a2339a08f437648b111
3. Work construction. Books can help support your education, but nothing is as good as using your hands to gain real-world experience with construction.

(In addition to what I mentioned in the video…)

4. Take construction management classes or get a minor
5. Learn by drawing the details in an architectural office.
