Abstract
Presents basic design requirements and principal dimensional data for the buildings addressed, as well as succinct guidance on how to use the information and what regulations may require the attention of the designer. Seeks to explain the principles of architectural design from a fundamental rather than aesthetic perspective. The handbook also covers broader aspects of design such as materials, acoustics and lighting, and general design data on human dimensions and space requirements.
