Graphic Standards Details: Openings presents a new collection of elegant openings—doors, windows, and passageways—to inspire and instruct architectural designers. It features two dozen projects culled from an open competition of today's leading architects, including Diller Scofidio + Renfro; Smith-Miller + Hawkinson Architects; Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates; Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects; and Wilkinson Eyre Architects.

This rich, visual resource offers readers the chance to examine hundreds of detailed construction drawings for a broad range of architectural scales—from residential interiors to a city gateway—including:

• A surprisingly beautiful chiller plant
• Houses that open to the elements with disappearing walls
• Stunning commercial entryways
• A rural house fabricated from recycled materials
• An impossibly twisting skyway bridge
• And more!

Every project presented here includes color photographs of the completed work, a descriptive narrative, and expertly drawn details that illustrate how each was constructed.

Providing inspiration and problem-solving knowledge, Graphic Standards Details: Openings is a valuable resource for architects, project managers, and designers. Graphic Standards Details: Openings
