The new Manual of Masonry Construction is a fundamental handbook for architects and planners, providing expertise on masonry construction and technical details. It brings together a wealth of knowledge on classic and contemporary masonry construction, covering everything from production and load-bearing behaviour to building physics, fire protection, and sustainability. The authors cover traditional techniques as well as the latest developments, such as robotic production and the use of climate-friendly materials like recycled bricks. The content focuses on key construction details, and there are around 100 pages of current, international, practical examples from the brick, sand-lime, concrete, clay, and natural stone sectors. These project examples are presented at a scale of 1:20
