      Architecture Technology for Engineers - Kesorn Pechrach

      Acknowledgments

      I would like to thank my amazing husband, Dr P. M. Weaver for always supporting.

      Thanks to my beautiful son, Neran J. P. Weaver for building dinosaurs modelling structures.

      Many Thanks to my family in the UK and Thailand for always believe in me.

      Special thanks to Chi Roberts, Maurice Mitchell, Bob Barnes, Sian Moxon, Cheryl Pilliner-Reeves, Jen Ng, Luke Jones, Bo Tang and Toby Burgess for teaching me everything about Technology in Architecture.

      I would like to thank all staffs at the CASS, The Cass Faculty of Art, Architecture and Design, LONDON metropolitan university, London, UK, for all their supports.

      Finally, I would like to thank Rajiya Sultana, Anna Wlodarczyk, J.P. Darby, Talitha Ryan and Denise Woods for happy to help with my kid. 

      Introduction

      As an electrical engineer, I have to work with architectures for many projects. They always the lead party and my team always the last group to join the project in term of time scale. They always the first group who gets to know the clients. Also, they always change plans and details which, of course, lead my team has to change our plans and drawings follow their plans.

      I always fascinated about what kind of their rule, what they get ideas from and how they get it. This is the reason why I study the BA. Architecture (Hons) at the CASS. I learn many things prior, to be architecture. This knowledge is also helping me as an electrical engineer to understand the project clearly.

      I hope this book will help you too.
