Since 1932, the ten editions of Architectural Graphic Standards have been referred to as the "architect's bible." From site excavation to structures to roofs, this book is the first place to look when an architect is confronted with a question about building design. With more than 8,000 architectural illustrations, including both reference drawings and constructible architectural details, this book provides an easily accessible graphic reference for highly visual professionals.

To celebrate seventy-five years as the cornerstone of an industry, this commemorative Eleventh Edition is the most thorough and significant revision of Architectural Graphic Standards in a generation. Substantially revised to be even more relevant to today's design professionals, it features:

An entirely new, innovative look and design created by Bruce Mau Design that includes a modern page layout, bold second color, and new typeface

Better organized-- a completely new organization structure applies the UniFormat(r) classification system which organizes content by function rather than product or material

Expanded and updated coverage of inclusive, universal, and accessible design strategies

Environmentally-sensitive and sustainable design is presented and woven throughout including green materials, LEEDS standards, and recyclability

A bold, contemporary new package--as impressive closed as it is open, the Eleventh Edition features a beveled metal plate set in a sleek, black cloth cover

Ribbon Markers included as a convenient and helpful way to mark favorite and well used spots in the book

All New material

Thoroughly reviewed and edited by hundreds of building science experts and experienced architects, all new details and content including:

new structural technologies, building systems, and materials

emphasis on sustainable construction, green materials, LEED standards, and recyclability

expanded and updated coverage on inclusive, universal, and accessible design strategies

computing technologies including Building Information Modeling (BIM) and CAD/CAM

new information on regional and international variations

accessibility requirements keyed throughout the text

new standards for conducting, disseminating, and applying architectural research

New and improved details

With some 8,500 architectural illustrations, including both reference drawings and constructible architectural details, Architectural Graphic Standards continues to be the industry's leading, easily accessible graphic reference for highly visual professionals.

《ARCHITECTURAL建筑实录》由华中科技大学出版社出版。

对液晶有所了解的消费者，都知道液晶显示器的性能和效果主要取决于所采用液晶面板的质量，而对于液晶面板级别的划分，相信很多人还不是很了解。就液晶面板的级别划分来说，最顶尖的就是Medical级液晶面板，而紧接着就是Graphic图形设计级的面板，其次就是许多品牌都会应用的Data级和 Vision级液晶面板。

一般来说，Medical级的面板主要应用于航天和医疗手术室方面，其性能效果虽然极好，但昂贵的价格成本也令许多消费者望而止步，所以选择这一级别的液晶面板的都是一些有特殊需要的用户。由于该级别的液晶面板对厂商的生产技术都有一个极高的要求，所以目前就只有夏普全系列液晶中极个别型号（LL- T1620H/B、LL-T1820H/B、LL-T2020H/B）的液晶面板达到Medial级别要求。而仅于Medical级液晶面板的就是 Graphic（图形设计级）的面板，其主要面向图形设计用户，多用于专业的图形设计方面。紧接在Graphic级液晶面板之后的，分别是很多品牌厂商都采用到的Data级和Vision级液晶面板了，由于这两个级别的液晶面板的生产成本都低于Medical和Graphic级面板，所以得到很多的品牌厂商在15.1吋主流产品的选用。

新鲜出炉的A3是目前全球第一台使用Graphic图形级液晶面板的15.1吋主流液晶，综合表现十分出色，超卓的性能完全能符合专业人士的苛刻要求。而且还揉合夏普赖以享誉全球的Black TFT（超黑晶）技术，能最大限度地减少了外来光线在屏幕上造成的漫反射，无论任何恶劣的光线环境下使用，都不会出现反光反白，甚至是抢光的情况，其防反光，低眩光的处理效果令人十分满意，即使在户外或靠近窗户强光照射的地方，也能呈现出鲜艳明亮的画面，令人为之惊叹。 sRGB国际标准色彩显示规范。

众所周知，在一些典型的色彩输出设备中，显示器、打印机和投影仪的基于其独自的色彩管理坐标系统作显示，同一个色彩画面，只要在不同设备的色彩坐标系统中输出，色彩就会有所偏差，基于这个问题，Microsoft（微软）、Mitsubishi（三菱）和HP（惠普）共同制定了sRGB标准的白皮书，把色彩输出坐标系统统一到计算机上，从而令到屏幕输出与打印输出的色彩完全保持一致，色彩准确度达至颠峰，完全满足对色彩准确度非常高的专业图形设计，医疗演示等用户的严格需求。

当今世界上的建筑设计思想和实践非常活跃。我们虽然身处城市的一个小小角落，但覆盖全球的信息网络，令人眼花缭乱的平面和视频媒体，触角敏感的图书销售网不分昼夜地把世界各地所发生的有关于建筑的或者非建筑的消息送达到我们面前，刺激着我们的感官，这的确是一个信息爆炸与大众传播的时代，一个俯拾即是、随时随地可以学习的时代，既然我们已经幸运地身处这样的时代，我们就应该像海绵那样吸收信息，掌握知识。但与此同时，鉴于我们吸收信息的能力有限，因此我们要善于学习。首先是需要广泛浏览，迅速了解全局，无论是国内还是国外，建筑还是非建筑，尽可能地保持与各种信息渠道的联系，无论是网络、报纸、刊物，还是电视和广播，甚至各类商业广告，其次是要能敏感地分辨新鲜的信息与陈旧的信息，并能够甄别有用的信息与无用的信息，以此寻求启发我们建筑设计的灵感和创造的源泉。2100433B
