Product Description

Product Description

All the essential design criteria and standards you need to prepare preliminary designs, execute programming requirements, and analyze the functions and uses of a building.

From the Back Cover

The only comprehensive architectural reference for buildings of all types, this new edition of Time-Saver Standards for Building Types offers easily referenced technical guidelines, criteria, standards, and specifications to make the preliminary and planning work of designers and builders go more quickly and smoothly.

The classic architectural data resource for all building types, now up to date for a new century, with 1500 illustrations

This updated and revised Time-Saver Standards for Building Types is a "first reference" and primary source of guidance for design and material selection. It lists in easily accessible format the key criteria that every architect and builder must consider in designing, specifying, and constructing buildings--data needed to prepare preliminary designs, execute programming requirements, and analyze the functions and uses of any building. This volume is the only comprehensive reference covering all building types.

The Fourth Edition features key data on topical issues such as rehabilitation, change-of-use, preservation, accessibility, and energy conservation and other environmental concerns. A new graphic design with new illustrations makes this source more helpful than ever to use.

Time-Saver Standards for Building Types provides a comprehensive overview of a range of building structures. An invaluable guide for review of technical data, it is equally appropriate for use in continuing education courses, in preparation for professional licensing exams, and in schools of architecture.

A great reference book 7 May 2002
By Rafael Lemieszek Pinheiro - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is a book that sometimes resembles Neufert's, but it has a lot of additional information you might need that will make easier the process of designing various types of buildings. It gives you notions, ideas, proportions, measures and everything you need to know when starting a project. A must-have to any architect (specially with these incredible low-priced used ones. I got mine for 13 bucks and it's absolutely like new).

Time-saver Standards for Building Types 25 Oct 2011
By mohonk922 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am currently studying for my architectural exams and have found this book to be very informative, and the description provided in the Product Description was exactly what is in the book. I have found that the product descriptions are very helpful, and have also rely on the reviews others have made when purchasing an item and when purchasing from another vendor through amazon.
