FOREWORD
The object of the original series of Architects'

Working Details, published first in the weekly
Architects' Journal and then as a set of 15 books
by the Architectural Press, was to find the
equivalent to the professional and scientific
tradition of precedentin medicine and law, built
up through the exchange of information. The
working details were intended both to cover
everyday design problems and to record the
latest stage in the development of a design
solution and so provide the architect with a
starting point from which he could develop his
own improvements.
This selection of some 100 details (there is a
further set of 100 in the companion volume to
this book), from over 1600 originally published
between 1953 and 1971, is intended to reflect
those original aims. Some are chosen as classic
examples of good design of everyday

architectural elements. Others have been
selected because they represented,at the time of
their design, the latest stage in the development
of a design problem. Inevitably some of the
details shown reflect the interests of their time,
which are not necessarily those of today for
instance, the preoccupation with the curtain
wall, and the abundance of canopies (now
reduced to a few classic examples).
The popularity of the original series, year
after year, shows how great a gap it filled.
Similarly this selection should be an essential
document for those who do not have the original
series of Architects' Working Details.

STAIRCASE: SCHOOL AT NEWTON AYCLIFFE, CO. DURHAM

DESIGNED BY GRENFELL BAINES AND HARGREAVES in collaboration with G. R. CLAYTON (architect: Durham C.C.)
The stairway is built upfromprecast concrete units, each normally comprisinga riserand tread.
All are built into the wall to a depth of in. The units terminate on the wall side in a block,
rectangular in elevation, which,as it stands proudoftheplaster,serves as a wall string.
Ofinterest is the method ofho/ding the ba/usters. his, sleevesare cast in the treadswhere they
serve to aizchor the reinforcement.Thefoot ofthe hamsters is drilled and tapped, and the
bottom four i,ichesarefineddownfrom in, to in. diameter. The hamsters are then passe1

DESIG NED BY ARNE JACOBSEN
(Materialsupplied by MichaelSadler)
Apartfro,'n the plastic iizfihlon the treads and theglass balustrade, this is an all-steel
staircase. The use ofthis materialhas enabled the strings (which are 2-in, thicksolid
mild steel) to repeat the cranked pattern ofthe steps. The stairis, in effect, a tour de
force ofwelding,for virtually allthe steel-to-steeljointshave been effected by this
method. The half-landings are suspendedfromjoists in the roofby three 1-in. dia.

SPIRAL STAIRCASEz EXHIBITION HALL AT WITTON, BIRMINGHAM

DESIGNED BY JOHN AND SYLVIA REID; CLARKE, NICHOLLS AND MARCEL (consultingengineers)
The two 8 -in. o4. steelcarriage tubes were bent coldin the shop. Since thespiral turns3600, ajig was made with diagona
rakers at quarterpointsand the bending was done with a 200-tonpressurejack. The tubes were then fixed on site and a
template was madeforpositioning i/ic 2-in, square box-tube brackets supporting the treads. This temp/ate was a circular
woodendrum with asequenceofbracket heights markedon and a lever arm attached to each, andit was raisedon a
centralpole as work proceeded. It waspossible, thus, tofix the treads to an accuracy of 115--in.

SUSPENDED CEILING: SHOP IN ROTTERDAM, HOLLAND

DESIGNED BY MARCEL BREUER AND A. ELZAS
(MaterialsuppliedbyA. Gore/on and M. Chaplin)
Eversince the suspendedceilingfirst became a commonplace,i/ic main effortofdesigners

has been toproduce afiat suifacesimilar to the traditionalplaster ceiling and to conceal
the supportingjoists above tile ceiling slab. This has the disadvantagethat it virtually
removes tile ceilingfrom the scope oft/icdesigner. It also has the disadvantage(in the case
ofthe demountableceiling) that the slightest variation betweenthe planes ofthe separate
wills readsinstantly when seenfrom belowand gives a tawdry effect. This ceiling reverses
the usualpracticeand deliberately shows the built-tip teak ceilingjoists belowthe level of
the slabs. Thisgivesa design which ispositive in its effect and incidentallyconceals any
slight irregularities whichmay exist in thejoints betweenslabsandframe.

ILLUMINATED CEILING: BOARD ROOM, OFFICES IN LONDON, S.W.1

DESIGNED BY C. J. EPRIL AND ASSOCIATES
Thepattern inducedby the beech slats and bearers ofthis timber suspendedceiling is strong enough to give the
impressionofan even overall lighting, though infact the light isproduced by three banks ofJluorescent tubes,
which lie at the outside edges ofthe ceiling and behind the central soffit which divides the Iwo bays. Notice, also
the relative shallowness ofthe ceilingonlyabout6 in. To sum up: an excellent example ofhow toproduce
a verysophisticatedeffect, using only the simplestfittings.

WALL FITMENT: OFFICES IN LONDON, S.E.1

DESIGNED BY FREDERICK GIBBERD
The chiefinterest in this detail lies in the use (for aesthetic effect) ofrecessedblack
stained woodmembersto coverthejunctions between the most significant
elementsofthe design. Thefull-height doors on the left arcfaced with Honduras
mahogany,the half-height doorson the rightwith greysycamore and the doors at
ceiliiglevel arepainteda charcoal black. The cupboardsare ofgreaterdepth
(1ft. 7* in.) than is usualin offices owing to thefact that a safe is concealed
behind one ofthem.

SERVERY HATCH: SCHOOL IN COVENTRY

DESIGNED BY ARCHITECTS' CO-PARTNERSHIP
Being in an infants' school, the counter height is only 2ft. 6 in. above thefloor,and
the top ofthe sepvery openingis only 5 ft. 3 in, above the level ofthefloor. This
scaling doun ofdimensionsis undoubtedlycorrect. At the same time it is

important to ensure that, when this is done on a hatch ofthis type, the sashed
openingis on the dining room (i.e., the children's side) as it is here, and not on
the scrver' side,' otherwisethe servery staffwill bump their heads against the top a
the opening. The hardwoodframe is West African mahogany,thepanels gaboonfacedplywood: both are vax-polished.

There is a more robust tradition ofletter boxeson the Continent than thereis in
England. The tilt ofthe boxes has the double advantage that itpreventspiledup letters
fromfallingoutonto thefloor whenthe doorisopenedandthe upwardturning ofthe
