Kurzbeschreibung
Liebing is a proven expert and author of specialized literature. He is also a professor in the field of planning rendering and detailing and this is his somewhat different version of a handbook. The well-known book, "Architectural Detailing", by Professor E. Allen und P. Rand, introduces detail as a choice of system and construction. It covers a major field of instruction that Liebing expands with an important practical aspect. The "Handbook of Detailing" is about the ‘mechanics’, the function of the drafted details. Not the exemplary rendering of details but the best rendering for the respective purpose – whether at the construction site or the office. The author zeros in on frequent weaknesses in detailing and shows positive examples. He consciously does without rendering copies and offers an "Anatomy of Planning Rendering" that can be adjusted to create the optimal effect.
