How to Learn Construction Details in Architecture School

To Learn Construction Details in Architecture School, I recommend a several things:

1. Use the book "Architectural Graphic Standards" as a reference while you design your buildings in studio. Cruise through the book and see what kind of information is in there. There is a lot: amazon.com/gp/product/0471533696/ref=as_li_tl?i…
2. Refer to any of the books by Frank Ching like "Building Construction Illustrated" : amazon.com/gp/product/1118458346/ref=as_li_tl?i…
or "Building Structures Illustrated" : amazon.com/gp/product/1118458354/ref=as_li_tl?i…
3. Work construction. Books can help support your education, but nothing is as good as using your hands to gain real-world experience with construction.

(In addition to what I mentioned in the video...)

4. Take construction management classes or get a minor
5. Learn by drawing the details in an architectural office.
