This standard reference work conveys the essential technical knowledge required for the design and construction of masonry, including its detailed technical aspects. It brings together consolidated expertise on both traditional and contemporary masonry construction—from material production and structural behaviour to issues of building physics, fire protection, and sustainability. The authors, Ansgar Schulz and Benedikt Schulz, address both established practices and the latest techniques and developments in masonry construction.
In their foreword, the authors state, among other things: “The point of departure for the architectural impact of masonry remains the masonry unit itself. Its size, proportions, materiality, and colour determine the possibilities of architectural design. Through the layering of units, walls are formed that create articulated spaces. This architectural principle is also at the core of the third revised edition of the Atlas of Masonry.”
