Building According to Law

HAROLD ROGERS

"God's law deals lovingly and tenderly with

An architect is expected to know the bearing power of masonry, concrete, wood, whatever building materials he chooses. He should be able to balance vertical pressures with horizontal or diagonal thrusts. In short, without having an understanding of architectural law in his thinking, he could not successfully prepare plans and specifications for the building of an edifice.
