Metric handbook: planning and design data edited by David Littlefield (3rd edition) is a new book that is now available for loan from the Learning Centre.
"The Metric Handbook is the major handbook of planning and design data for architects. This new edition has been updated to include the most recent changes to regulation and practice - in particular the increasing emphasis on environmental legislation - to meet the needs of the modern building design professional. 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 may need 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 a unique authoritative reference for solving everyday planning problems. It has sold well over 100,000 copies worldwide to successive generations of architects and designers - this is a book that truly belongs on every design office desk and drawing board." -- back cover
