English Terminology in Architecture

[Jonathan & Esti Toibis]

Hello all,

 

We do 3d modeling for architects and we are looking for a list in english of the professional names of the building.

(For example: facade, threshold, sraircase etc.)

 

We are searching for the "Architectural Language".

 

Thank's Esti

Just found this one for ya. It's a bit Americanised though.

Also try a Google search for architecture glossary - got many good hits, and a lot of them are more specific, e.g. - http://ah.bfn.org/a/DCTNRY/vocab.html is illustrated, http://www.pitt.edu/~medart/menuglossary/INDEX.HTM is medieval

buy the book "Building Construction Illustrated"

[qwarto]

you can also check out the book "dictionary of architecture" By: Cyril M. Harris

ISBN. 0-07-135178-7

What about this:

 

Multilingual Dictionary of Architecture and Building Terms

 

It is available in amazon.

 

You have here a long list of architectural terms in english, french, italian, german and spanish.

 

I've got it. It's useful.

You can also try " Time Saver Standards" by fletcher and

"Graphics Standards" by Ramsey Sleeper".

 

 

For architectural technical and contruction detailing term go

for the "Graphics Standards"

 

For Architectural Design Guidelines( ie: Hotels, airports,hospitals,

landscaping, ergonomics etc. etc.) go for the "Time Saver Standards"

 

Both are very much uselful. We call them back in college as the

Architectural Bible which we are still using now for references.
