I'm a retired electrical engineer. I have a 15 year old grandson who is very interesting in architecture. His high school courses next year will introduce exterior and interior architecture. I would like to find a pre-college book that introduces the "out of sight" infrastructure systems within buildings; e.g., electrical, elevator, fire suppression, and plumbing systems. Anyone have a suggestions? Thanks.
I don't have an answer for you, but try searching building systems instead of infrastructure.
I don't know if I would agree with your choice of gift, though. It seems to me that for a high school kid, architectural history and structures would be better ways to introduce the subject. Curious - what class will he be taking? Sounds awfully specific.

Looking for pre-college book on a building's infrastructure
Hello,
I'm a retired electrical engineer. I have a 15 year old grandson who is very interesting in architecture. His high school courses next year will introduce exterior and interior architecture. I would like to find a pre-college book that introduces the "out of sight" infrastructure systems within buildings; e.g., electrical, elevator, fire suppression, and plumbing systems. Anyone have a suggestions? Thanks.
