Auburn University Students Tackle Mission: No Class Text? Write Your Own
Some of the world’s greatest structures are architectural wonders, but little or no detail exists about how they were built. Soon, however, ambitious construction students from Alabama’s Auburn University will fill that gap.
With help from supportive faculty and industry experts, a lot of hard work and a whirlwind summer trip studying ancient and modern buildings, 21 students from Auburn’s McWhorter School of Building Science will publish the first definitive textbook on the construction challenges of architecture’s global icons. While the book will help teach construction history to Auburn’s future freshmen classes, its creators say peers in other schools will also find it valuable.
