We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Metric Handbook: Planning and Design Data" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Consistently updated since 2015 by expert authors in the field
Significantly revised in reference to changing building types and construction standards
New chapters added on data centres and logistics facilities
Sustainable design integrated into chapters throughout
Over 100,000 copies sold to successive generations of architects and designers
This book belongs in every design office.
The Metric Handbook is the major handbook of planning and design data for architects and architecture students. Covering basic design data for all the major building types, it is the ideal starting point for any project. For each building type, the book gives the basic design requirements and all the principal dimensional data, and succinct guidance on how to use the information and what regulations the designer needs to be aware of.
As well as buildings, the Metric Handbook deals with broader aspects of design such as materials, acoustics, and lighting, and general design data on human dimensions and space requirements. The Metric Handbook is the unique reference for solving everyday planning problems.

This seventh edition of the Metric Handbook is greatly indebted to the time, effort, and expertise of its many contributors in revising and writing afresh the large number of updated chapters in this new edition. All their contributions are much appreciated.
Particular thanks are due to the authors of the new chapters on data centres, logistics centres and retail, all sectors that have proved more vital than ever to help us cope with the pandemic and withstand the lockdowns.
The new edition would also not have been possible without commissioning editor Fran Ford and editorial assistant Trudy Varcianna at Routledge, as well as their editorial and production colleagues who all played such important roles in the publication of this updated new volume.

The symbol , and are exceptions in that there is no space between the value and the symbol. Decimal subdivisions of the degree are preferred to minutes and seconds; this facilitates the using of pocket calculators. On continental Europe, the grade (or its alternative name, the gon) is often used, always decimally subdivided. |
