In the planner’s professional practice the use of detailed construction drawings is standard practice.
The volumes of the Grande Atlante di Architettura series include an extremely wide range of construction details, drawn to scale and immediately usable. And that is not all.
Each volume constitutes a thorough encyclopaedia of the topic in question: the detailed construction drawings are accompanied by a complete anthology of examples, technical elements, and a brief historical introduction. The technical section, which concerns constructional, as well as climatic and environmental aspects, follows the German standards procedures, considered the most rigorous and the safest in Europe (and the world). A full appendix at the end of each volume provides information on Italian standards.
