Plaster, render, paint and coatings

de Alexander Reichel, Annette Hochberg, Christine Köpke

"Plaster, rendering, colours and coatings define surfaces, create a feeling of space, play with light and affect the appearance of a building. Their correct use is important to achieve an intact building shell. Convincing solutions, traditional and innovative, are described in the new addition to the Detail Practice series, "Plaster, Render, Paint and Coatings." The authors describe important fundamentals, highlight where special attention is due and give valuable tips for their practical use. Two buildings are used as case studies and the design and construction of all important elements is documented on a 1:10 scale"--Jacket.
