Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. Architectural Graphics Standards by Charles George Ramsey and HaroldReeve Sleeper, first published in 1932 (and now in its eleventh edition), is adefinitive technical reference for architects--the one book that every architectneeds to own. The authors, one a draftsman and the other an architect, created agraphic compilation of standards that amounted to an index of the combined knowledgeof their profession. This first comprehensive history of Ramsey and Sleeper'sclassic work explores the changing practical uses that this 'draftsman'sBible' has served, as well as the ways in which it has registered the shiftswithin the architectural profession since the first half of the twentieth century. When Architectural Graphics Standards first appeared, architecture was undergoingits transition from vocation to profession--from the draftsman's craft to thearchitect's academically based knowledge with a concomitant rise in social status. The older 'drafting culture' gave way to massive postwar changes in designand building practice. Writing a history of the architectural profession from thebottom up--from the standpoint of the architectural draftsman--George BarnettJohnston clarifies the role and status of the subordinate architectural workers whoonce made up the base of the profession. Johnston's account of the evolution ofRamsey and Sleeper's book also offers a case study of the social hierarchiesembedded within architecture's division of labor. Johnston investigates what becameof the draftsman, and what became of drafting culture, and asks--importantly, intoday's era of digital formats--what price is exacted from architectural labor asarchitecture pursues new professional ideals. An examination of the standard reference book for architects, as both practical sourcebook and window on changes in the profession. X-Library copy. with the usual markings.
