Neufert’s Architects’ Data stands as a fundamental resource for the initial stages of building project design and planning. This compact yet comprehensive volume offers essential information necessary to establish the groundwork for detailed design and planning processes. Organized primarily by building type, it covers a wide array of preliminary considerations, boasting over 6200 diagrams to provide a wealth of spatial data.
The majority of illustrations feature dimensions, with each building type accompanied by plans, sections, site layouts, and design specifics. Additionally, the book includes an extensive bibliography and comprehensive metric/imperial conversion tables. Originally published in Germany in 1936, Ernst Neufert’s handbook has undergone continuous revision and updates across 39 editions and numerous translations. The fourth English edition, translated from the 39th German edition, represents a significant update tailored for an international, English-speaking audience.
