## Description

The Metric Handbook is the major handbook of planning and design data for architects and architecture students, with over 100,000 copies sold to successive generations of architects and designers. It remains the ideal starting point for any project and belongs in every design office. The seventh edition references the latest regulations and construction standards and includes new chapters on data centres and logistics facilities alongside basic design data for all the major building types. 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.

If you’re an engineer that works in many building industries for example residential, offices, supermarkets etc then this is a great book. If you work in a more niche industry for example only car dealerships then this isn’t the book for you. The information on many areas is great but not plentiful enough if you work in only one industry. Saying that if you are involved in many different project types then it is highly recommended. The photos attached give some examples of the levels of detail you can expect from this book.
