BRIGHTON, Mass., Jan. 18 /Newman Communications/ -- Wiley and The American Institute of Architects are proud to introduce the most thorough revision of Architectural Graphic Standards in a generation. Since 1932, Architectural Graphic Standards (Wiley, April 2007, $250) has been referred to as the "Architect's Bible." From site excavation to structures to roofs, this resource is the first place to look when an architect is confronted with a question about building design.
This commemorative, 75th anniversary edition continues to be a must-have for every architect practicing today and features over 8,000 illustrations, reference drawings, and constructible architectural details. What makes this landmark new edition so special?

. A focus on environmentally sensitive and sustainable design including green materials, LEED standardT, and recyclability aspects interwoven throughout the text
. A striking new package features a beveled metal plate set in a sleek charcoal cloth cover
Thoroughly reviewed and edited by hundreds of building science experts and experienced architects, up-to-the-minute and expanded content includes:
. New structural technologies, building systems, and materials
. Expanded and integrated coverage on inclusive, universal, and accessible design strategies
. New chapters cover contemporary issues such as Building Information Modeling, CAD/CAM, and architectural research
