Planning Architecture

Dimensions and Typologies

Edited by: Bert Bielefeld

Overview

About this book

From residential buildings to airports

In formulating a design concept into a viable plan, architects oscillate constantly between two planes of observation: the actual design task in the context of planning typologies such as residential buildings, office buildings, museum, or airport, and the individual room, meaning the kitchen, office, classroom, sanitary rooms, storage rooms, and so on.

Planning Architecture offers architects and students a well thought-out planning tool, in which two main sections reciprocally complement one another: the “spaces” and the “typologies” between which the planner can flexibly oscillate depending on his or her plane of observation. All relevant planning information is presented in a detailed clear fashion, and in context.

These two sections are flanked by an introductory chapter explaining the basis and framework for typological design, as well as a “reference section” at the end of the book that clearly lists general dimensions and units, regulations and standards.

All important information, clearly formulated and easy to find
Essential to every architect's desk: for students or in day-to-day practice
Developed by a professional team of authors and the publisher of the successful BASICS students' series
