Most of the featured illustrations are dimensioned and each building type includes plans, sections, site layouts and design details. 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. During my studies I discovered this book by accident, and ever since it became part of my architecture bibles!

This fourth English language edition is translated from the 39th German edition, and represents a major new edition for an international, English speaking readership.

This new edition of the classic bestselling text provides, in one concise volume, the essential information needed as the basis for the more detailed design and development of any building project. I used it for everything - but the thermal properties of various materials was a particularly useful part.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. 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. The dust jacket is shelf rubbed, edge worn and marked, with creases and small, closed tears along the edges. 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.

Since then, more than half a million books have been printed, in 39 German editions and 17 other languages. First published in 1936 by Ernst Neufert, [1] its 39 German editions and translations into 17 languages have sold over 500,000 copies. This is a true first edition, first printing (first impression) in a good original jacket with some rubbing and wear to the extremities. The first English version was published in 1970 and was translated from the original German by Rudolf Herz.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. Architects' Data is an excellent resource for architects, building surveyors, space planners, and design and building contractors everywhere. In the US, it competes with the most common Architectural Graphic Standards and is little known compared to Germany. Internally, there are tape residue markings on the end papers, and a previous owner's signature on the front end page. Since it was first published in Germany in 1936, Ernst Neufert′s handbook has been progressively revised and updated through 35 editions and many translations.
