Architects′ Data

Product Information

Organised largely by building type (from airports to zoos), it covers user requirements, planning criteria, basic dimensions and considerations of function and siting. The Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca worked on the rationalization of architecture within his piece "Neufert Suite" in 1998. There are additional sections on building components, services and building physics, fire protection, and designing for the disabled. It provides dimensions for almost everything that is ascosiated with building industry, as well as human proportions and minimum - maximum dimensions that come in handy when dealing with furniture design.

It also looks at the design styles and specifications for creating different types of structures, such as those made for residential, commercial, religious, cultural, sports, medical and other types of occupation. I used it for everything - but the thermal properties of various materials was a particularly useful part. Since then, more than half a million books have been printed, in 39 German editions and 17 other languages. This Third Edition of the English language version has been revised for the first time in 20 years and completely reworked, with 40% more material, to provide a major new edition for an international readership.Most illustrations are dimensioned, and each building type includes plans, sections, site layouts and design details.

It provides, in one concise volume, the core information needed to form the framework for the more detailed design and planning of any building project. Architects' Data ( German: Bauentwurfslehre), also simply known as the Neufert, is a reference book for spatial requirements in building design and site planning.Until 1986, Ernst Neufert was its editor, after which his son Peter took over the publishing with his company AG Neufert Mittmann Graf Partner, until his death in 1995. Architects′ Data provides an essential reference for the initial design and planning of a building project. Dealing mostly with ergonomics and with functional building layouts, thousands of drawings illustrate the text, organised according to building typologies.

This is a true first edition, first printing (first impression) in a good original jacket with some rubbing and wear to the extremities. Most illustrations are dimensioned and each building type includes plans, sections, site layouts and design details. Organized largely by building type, it covers the planning criteria and considerations of function and location-and with over 6200 diagrams, it provides a mass of data on spatial requirements. It may lack a couple of dimensioning sets, but then again this is not an issue, because simply enough you can get anything you need by just combining dimensions from each section. Organised largely by building type, and with over 6000 diagrams, it provides a mass of data on spatial requirements and also covers planning criteria and considerations of function and siting.Ernst Neufert was a German architect who is known as an assistant of Walter Gropius, as a teacher and member of various standardization organizations, and especially for his essential handbook Architects' data. Very good in original laminated card covers with corner creasing and light shelfwear very good minus.
